Due to continued health problems of my husband we ended up filing Ch. 13. Our mortgage is 1,179.00/per month and it is taking a large portion of my income (1,080.00) bi weekly comes from my payroll checks. That leaves very little to live on with a family of 4. We wanted to know if we can let the house go back (and rent) then we could probably pay remainder of bills.Thanks

You should look into converting your case to chapter 7 which will allow you to surrender the house and discharge the remainder of your unsecured debts. If chapter 7 is not an option for you for whatever reason, then you can file a modified chapter 13 plan indicating your intent to surrender the property.
