I can no longer afford my share of our mortgage

The soon to be ex wife should really get a legal agreement drawn up. Even though you're "jointly and severally liable" for it, surely you don't think it's fair for her to pay 100% of the mortgage from now on and still end up with 50/50 split? What would you like to happen? Pay nothing to the mortgage and still get 50/50?
Fair? Walk 5 minutes in my shoes

Thanks for the comments...
I paid the 20K deposit and 65% of the monthly payments up till 1 year ago after paying that for 7 years, so i really don't feel any pain in stopping as i have my rent to find and some evenings actually go without an evening meal as i cant afford it.
I have been asking and asking her to sell the house for the past 2 years and its all delaying tactics, there are no dependants just her in our 3 bed house.
I served her with a divorce petition last week as i can no longer survive.

Perhaps you should consider moving back in and share the house until it is sold. 
If there are no dependents then you have been more than genous already
