If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If the house is titled solely in your name, your husband has no claim of ownership unless you somehow made a gift of an ownership interest. Presuming you will be filing for divorce, you should hire an attorney to make sure your legal rights are properly protected.

While he is not an owner, he may have a lien for expenses. I suggest you retain counsel to investigate. Good luck.
