Answer:
The relevant statute is given below.
Cal Fam Code § 4302 reads:
“A person is not liable for support of the person's spouse when the person is living separate from the spouse by agreement unless support is stipulated in the agreement.”
Therefore, your husband shall be liable to support you if the support is stipulated in the agreement.
