We are still in so still paying.
As for not signing anything, we have signed up to all sorts of stuff before the Referendum.
The £39 Billion is now down to £32 Billion.
The lawyers will sort it out and International Court or Arbitration.
It matters nothing what we say or the EU.

That 39 billion is now done to zero. It was part and parcel of the Withdrawal Treaty which has been rejected.
We don't have to pay anything - only the obligations until October 31st, certainly not 32 billion.
If anything, the EU should be refunding us for all the infrastructure project we paid into including the parliament buildings we part own

We signed up to a seven year funding plan in a leaf ally binging document with no early termination or escape clauses.
That’s why the government agreed to pay

It was rejected through the house of commons.
We don't have to pay the EU anything

In 2013 the UK signed the Medium-Term Budgetary Framework which locks the UK into a financial commitment to provide funding through to 2020.
So when did Parliament ever reject this then?
And, if they ever were to, it would be a breach of the terms as there are no early break or termination clauses that we could invoke to gain relief from our obligations.
So unless we wish to be seen as a country that reneges on its obligations we need to pay what we have signed up to else be will be viewed as untrustworthy.
The cost of any transitional period is another matter entirely
