Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Divorce from immigrant wife

I am fighting for joint custody for 1 child and divorce from my immigrant wife of 1 yr. How is support determined? Is the property and business I owned prior to the marraige subject to division? How are finances provided? My wife previously worked and owned a business for a several months until she determined she no longer wanted to do so. Do I have to support her during the divorce process?
