See an attorney. You may be entitled to spousal support. If you moved out, you are responsible for your own bills.

You are both half responsible for the mortgage so if he pays the whole bill each month to preserve the marital asset then you are responsible for your portion, whether you live there or not.

What is "fair" always depends upon your point of view. The judge will make decisions about who is to pay what bills based on an overall consideration of the total income and total expenses of both parties. At a temporary hearing the judge will expect both parties to present monthly budgets and the judge will allocate funds for payment of expenses and child support based upon a review of all the facts.
