Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
My husband and I bought a home while we was married. We are about to go before a judge for our divorce, my husband wants me to put the house up for sale sense I am unable to refinance the house in only my name taking his name off. My children and I live in the house and it is the only place we have to live. I keep my mortgage payment payed one month in advance. He and his new girlfriend have recently too out a contract for deed on a home they just moved into so he has a home. My question is will the judge make me sell my only home at the request of my husband? And considering we are still married and he has purchased another residence through contract for deed wouldnt that also be considered marital property? We both live in the state of Illinois

Divorces are complicated and marital settlement agreements can be fought over. See an attorney; not only may you not have to sell the house but he may be required to pay your attorney's fees.
I would adbise you to ask your attorney. If you do not have an attorney, you should! Hire one.
