My question involves a marriage in the state of: ca

I'm moving out of my wife's app
My name is on the lease
I need a new place soon
will there be any issues with me signing a new lease somewhere else is this fraud?
You are free to sign a lease elsewhere, and you'll probably have to. There is no issue with that.

The issue is that nobody (not your former LL nor the utility companies) have any obligation to release you from your obligations, though you are free to ask.
