Can I get the courts to get my husband to pay the mortgage of our jointly owned house as a way of providing a roof over the childrens heads? We have 4 children and feel they need to stay in familiar surroundings.
You cannot force the court for any decision. You and your spouse can decide amongst yourselves and apply to the court that both of you jointly want to pay off the debts. In such a situation, the court can consider your request. In my opinion, you should first negotiate with your ex-spouse regarding this issue.
