Context: Should he continue to pay half the mortgage and not live in the house ? I am pretty sure if she tries to qualify for the mortgage alone , she wo nt qualify . Because of this ... will he have to continue to pay half the mortgage and also pay rent wherever he will be living next ? ( I agreed to let him stay at my house for a while until he gets his feet on the ground , but I want to help him make the right decision and not get screwed over financially ) I do n't usually ask for advice in the lounge ... so maybe I can get an overwhelming response on how to help out with this situation .
