The rent is his liability to the landlord.

If the rent is not paid, the landlord can evict anyone living in the premises. If the husband signed the lease, he would be responsible for paying rent as far as the landlord is concerned. More importantly, your divorce lawyer can seek temporary support for you from your husband during the divorce proceedings. Get a good lawyer to ask for that so you could stay if you want to do so.
