Shortsale

What is the name of your state? CA

We are unable to hang on to our home and mortgage in California. We have recently moved out of state to OR for job reasons. We are going to shortsale our home in Calif. We have no equity in the home and the value has now plunged $70k under the loan value. If we do shortsale, and the realtor gets the bank to agree with it, are we obligated to pay the difference of what could be about $90K? $90K of which we do not have? If that is the case, what is the point of a shortsale?
IF you foreclose, do you have to pay the difference to the bank? We are not concerned about our credit anymore, just need to get out from under a hefty mortgage, which due to spouses unemployment, we cannot pay. Also can they garnish my wages for doing either?
Need some advice.
Thanks DJ
