If you didn't sign the note then you are not responsible for paying the balance. If the loan isn't paid the bank can take possession of the property by foreclosure. That's why the bank required that you sign the mortgage even if you didn't sign the note.

House in wifes name leaves husband who pays for house?
The answer is who is on the mortgage or deed of trust contract not who has title to the property. All parties on the mortgage are equally obligated for the mortgage payments irrespective whether or not they are in title to the property. A mortgage or deed of trust is a contract and the parties thereto are bound by the terms of the contract.Another PerspectiveIn addition, The lender will foreclose if the mortgage isn't paid. You have not stated who signed the mortgage and that is important to your question. If the husband is paying the mortgage and is not on the title he is paying for property he doesn't own. If he signed the mortgage then his credit record is at risk if the mortgage isn't paid. This matter will need to be addressed at some point by a court, perhaps divorce court, since the owner has abandoned the premises. You need to consult with an attorney.

If im considering getting married to a woman and she already has a child who is 10 years old if I marry her am I responsible for the child financially?
You are not responsible for maintainance for the child because it is not yours biologically. However you will be responsible for some of your wifes costs of living expences, mainly the costs of her accomodation, which means that you will have to pay for either her rent or mortgage, in order for her to still be able to accomodate her child,( unless she is financially capable of paying for it herself) this rule would not apply if she did not have a child. But you really should get legal advice !! Paul
