Legal Question in Family Law in New York

I currently have a seperation agreement in place that spells out who gets what when we sell our house. I get 25% and my husband gets the rest based on what we put into the house. My husband wants me to reimburse him 50,000 from the sale of the house because he used money is his daughter's college fund to pay for our very high property taxes. There is nothing in the agreement that talks about monies already spent. He wants to bring this to the courts and modify the seperation agreement. Does he have a leg to stand on? I thought the seperation agreement was binding. He is also living in the home at present and has been for 2 years. Thanks

Generally, if he is living in the home, then he would usually be required to pay the property taxes on the home, but I would check your agreement to see if this was included in the provisions relating to his occupation of the house.
