No, your husband cannot do this,. At least until there is a formal separation agreement or final decree of divorce in effect that specifies just which one of you is legally entitled to occupy the premises. Until then it remains the "joint marital residence" which means that either or both of you can live there. This is true no matter whose name the deed/lease may be in.
