Asked in Family Law for Oklahoma

Q: If you are seperated from your spouse and the lease is no longer active and you moved out but they chose to stay there

now they want you to pay their rent for them because they cant afford it and are claiming they are going to file a petition to make you pay the rent. I called the landlord and advised him I had moved out to contact her from now on. Can she force me to pay the rent?

A: Don't think so if the lease has expired. Don't worry about it.
