Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
I am disabled and reside in Illinois and have filed for a divorce thru legal aid. Spouse and I own a home of which we both have decided for it to be sold and profit shared equally. The marital assets are still up in the air as for how that will be divided. Of which I have been legally advised to have a backup plan for moving by applying for low income rentals in case the house is sold. Therefore I have been applying for low income rental apartments/homes so that I would have a place to move. I am not in good standing health and must find a place to move before winter approaches. It is a known fact that when a person applies and has been approved they are placed on a waiting list of which they can be called to move in at any time. Now...having that in mind my husband stated clearly in court to the person that was representing me for the Restraining Order for the same office as legal aid that he had 2 weeks to get his personal belongings from the home of which was about 2 months ago and yet he hasn't came and got them even though he had agreed to it. It if legal for me to ask my legal aid lawyer to contact my husband and relate to him that I will be moving therefore he should come and get his personal things for I will not be responsible for them after I move.

Why would you ask another lawyer, whether it is "legal" for you to ask your lawyer to do something? Your lawyer is there to represent you and can't properly represent you without knowing all the facts. Talk to that person. If there is something they cannot do, legally or ethically, they will tell you.
