For the time being, yes, your spouse will be expected to contribute to the mortgage on your home in Queens.
The disposition of the property is a matter that will be worked out in the divorce, and your legal team should ensure that your financial situation remains positive, including in areas like mortgage and utilities, throughout the divorce.
Once a settlement is reached, your spouse may or may not have an ongoing responsibility to the house payments, so you should work with your attorneys to develop a clear understanding of your financial position as early as possible.
Doing so can ensure that your negotiations emphasize the things you care about and will have a lasting interest in.
