Both spouses have a legal obligation to pay for necessities of the other spouse. Therefore, if the money was spent for room, board, food, clothes, your husband is out of luck. Your husband may have a reinbursement claim for his separate funds (money he had prior to marriage or got by gift or inheritence) used in a community asset or to pay a community debt.
