1) If the property is registered on your joint names you are 50% shareholder in the property and your husband has no right to drive you away from the house.

2) As co applicants you both are equally liable to the bank for the repayment of the loan. Either of you paying more or less will not affect the ownership rights which is equal.

3) In case of separation ask him to pay you 50% or buy it over at the current rate. You can also jointly sell and share the proceeds.
