Legal obligation damn moral obligation

[Barnett.Ty]

I just got a devorce from my wife and moved back to CA from AZ. My Ex bought a house when we were still married and my name is not on any of the legal paperwork reguarding he purchase or mortgage (everything involving the house is in her name). I agreed to pay half the house payment because i thought that because we were married when she bought the house I was legally obligated to pay half. My Son tells me that being that I was not on any legal paperwork for the house that I shouldnt be paying for "her house"
that she still resides in. Is my on correct from a legal standpoint?

what does your divorce decree say to the matter?

You mean the one where he agreed to pay for half of the payments for the property that was purchased during the course of the marriage?

Ya, that's probably the one but I just wanted to be certain it was in the order.

Did your attorney think it was as ridiculous as your son thinks to agree to such a thing?
