Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Me and my husband just got married last July of 2012 and moved to other state in aug. in the same year due to his job, so I have to resign in my job.

We decided to buy a new home, right now we are building a new house but its so sad that I just find out that he didn't include my name to it and even to his bank account im not included .when I confronted him about it he told me that the money that we spend to the new house is the money from the old house that he own before the marriage and it shouldn't be decided . My question is is this true and what is my rights ?
