Community Property Law for non-resident

[NewLife]

My husband and I separated in June of last year. At that time we had an on-going lease that ended in August. In November, he signed a month-to-month lease, but was later evicted. The landlords are trying to sue both of us for non-payment of rent and damages. Before my husband and I separated, we lived together in a community property state. Upon separation, I moved to a non-community property state. Can I be held responsible for payment if I did not sign the lease?

Community property laws do not apply in this situation. If he signed a lease as the sole tenant, then you are not responsible.
