It depends on the state.
Some states allow recording if only one party agrees, some require prior notification, some simply say the party who owns the line is allowed to record, etc.
The laws vary state to state, so you'll have to provide more information.

It really depends on the state you live in. Currently there are only thirteen states which forbid recording voice without the permission of the person being recorded. California is one such state, Arizona is not. So, you really need to look into what is legal in your particular state. I don't remember all thirteen states with this law, but I did view them when I goggled for nannycams, it came up in one of the links.
Now, as he is your husband, he is not in the home illegally, which puts a different spin on things. If he has a reason to place a recording device on the phone, then you, as his wife, should be aware of this need and so you would know he is recording conversations. I know of a few reasons why a person would wish to place a recording device on a home phone, such as an issue of harrassment needing to be documented, etc.
If he were not your husband then the issue would be more cut and dried. However, even as your husband, the states with the law forbidding unknown recording of other individuals is simply very straight forward. If you live in one of these states he has no rights under the law to do so.
I must ask you this question: What are you doing married to a man who wishes to record telephone conversations without your knowlege of permission? That is abuse plain and simple and it is something I would not tolerate. I strongly suggest you examine your reasons for staying married to a man who has so little trust in you that he feels a need to record you secretly. Relationships without trust will not survive, and any time spent in one is a waste of that time. LIfe is a one time event and I would never waste any portion of my life in a miserable situation.
With that said, I do not know your particular situation, perhaps he has good reason to not trust you. However, if I were him and I had good reason to not trust you I would simply not be with you. The same reasons as I stated above. I would not bother taping or recording you I would just leave. Why people wish to live miserable I just can't understand. However, it is up to you how you wish to spend this one life you have, so good luck to you and a happy holliday.

No, not in any state. There are some states that are ‘one-party consent’ states, which means only one party of the conversation has to give permission to record it, but that be either you or the person that you’re talking to.

because you reported that he would not have an criminal specialist i'm assuming he's representing himself. in which case he will have the right and the duty to preserve himself. i'm not confident what kind of gadget the phone recording is on yet when that is a cellular telephone inbox or voice-mail he has the pastime of (a) Proving the article or recording has not been tampered with (b) Proving that it is your voice on the recording both with the help of witness testimony or a transcriber (c) Proving that the gadget used is a valid kind of audio kit able to recording. also i'd communicate about that if any heritage or white noise would nicely be used to felicitate the kind of the recording and deem it inadmissible

Yep, just like he can track your internet usage and load software that will take screenshots every 10 seconds. He can also set up a spy cam in all the rooms of your house so he can monitor and record all activities in it, all day every day.
It is against the law for an employer to record phone convos of an employee. It IS NOT against the law for someone to bug the phone in their own house. This is their property and they need no premission to bug their own phone.

If the phone is in their name, yes. But anything recorded without both parties consent is inadmissable in court.

Likely depends what state you are in. In most states it is illegal if atleast one party that is doing the communicating is not aware that they are being recorded. The bigger Question though is why are you worried about be recorded? Are you doing something that you are not proud of?

Yeah, he can do it but it's against the law. If you are aware that's he's doing this, I would get a cell phone only make general calls from the home phone and my personal calls from my cell.

Well, with the legal aspects aside....
Either one of two situations:
1. He's recording them because you are up to something.
2. He's recording them because he THINKS you are up to something and is psycho and controlling.
In either case, I predict divorce.

It's dependent on the state you live in. A question would be what does he think your doing that would prompt such behavior?
