Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

Property rights during separation

My husband is living in our house and I moved out. He says that if I do not contribute money to him to pay the mortgage every month, then I forfeit my rights to any money collected on the sale of our property. I don't feel that I should have to pay his rent when I'm not living there. This is just a verbal agreement. Am I being taken for a ride?
