Can I terminate a 1 year lease, after living for 3 months in the property due to my separation from my husband? I can't afford the monthly rent and he makes more money than I do. If I can't, what am I still responsible for?

If you both signed the lease, then you are both equally responsible for it. Most landlords have some provision for an early termination of a lease, but its generally fairly expensive.
