If you are both on the lease you are liable for the full portion together. SO, even if you pay 1/2, if the Ex doesn't pay hers, the landlord can still come after you for the other half. In the lease you agreed to pay X amount per month, not 1/2 of X amount.
Unless you are talking about a huge lease or many months left, your best option is to both agree to move out of the house and workout a settlement with the landlord regarding the remaining rent.
You never mentioned, did you get the ring back?
Nudies?
