A: This depends on whether you have a contractual responsibility for the marital residence. Are you on the mortgage? If so, you and your husband are each jointly responsible for the entire obligation. Also, you have a general duty of support to your spouse, if needed. You should consult with an attorney to determine the exact details of this.

It is impossible to answer your question without additional information.

Respectfully, the number of questions which competent counsel should ask of you are not conducive to this forum.

I recommend that you contact counsel of your choosing and discuss the matter.
