I mean, it isn't as if they are young kids are they.
If the mortgage is in both names, you and your wife are both liable. I believe that gas and electric liabilities depend on whose name is on the bill.
When my son left his wife and daughter (who was 20) he was still expected to pay all the bills, as he had originally been paying. His wife was not working. It took some time to negotiate, but eventually the mortgage and property Deed was transferred to his wife and daughter. He agreed to forego all equity in the house in return for no strings.
