Joint mortgage but separated

Separated from my boyfriend a while back and moved out the house. He's still living there but I'm still paying half the mortgage until the house sells. What are my financial rights?

    I suspect much depends on what you agreed to before you took out the mortgage, as far as the bank is concerned you are both responsible for paying the mortgage

    Had one of these yesterday.

    Is he paying you rent for living in your half of the property?
