Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I live in the state of Il. My husband and I have been married for 15 years. The house that we live in was quit deeded to me from a previous marriage. I never put my current husband's name on my house or property. He has been paying the morgage on the place throughout our marriage. I want to sell my house and move. He is against this. Do I need his permission to sell the house since he is living there too? If I sold the property I could then file for divorce.

he has what is known as a homestead interest. His signature is required on the deed. So he has some say in the sale. You need to file for divorce first.
