Re: Marital Rights in Illinois
Hello. As the wife you have a right to the house, which is marital property. Transferring the house to other people constitutes a dissipation
of a marital asset. What this means is that the court should determine that your husband took property belonging to you. Any and all property acquired during a marriage in
Illinois is marital property and the
law allows for a division of marital
property when couples decide to divorce. If you have any additional questions, I will be happy to answer them.
