Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Divorce

My niece has been separated from her husband for almost five years. They own a house. The husband has not paid any alimony or paid any mortgage since they separated.

I was told by a friend that if he has not paid anything toward the house for five years he is no longer entitled to his share of the house.

They are no children involved.

I was wondering if this can be true.
