1. I tend to agree with you,

but don't know much at all about 'community property,' how it works in your state, or the relationship between you and your husband, which MIGHT be relevant.

If you are disputatious, it COULD be that he might seek full ownership in case of divorce, and thus might to prove that his contribution has been more than yours. If the house were held as 'community property,' the court shouldn't have any issue with any such claim he might make. However, as to joint tenancy, 'the individuals, who are called joint tenants, share equal ownership of the property and have the equal, undivided right to keep or dispose of the property.'

This is NOT a final legal conclusion on your question, just off the 'top of my head.'

Here's basic stuff about Joint Tenancy:
