Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I have been married for 12 years, my husband decided to leave me, and just walked out. I receive SSI, and it is nowhere close to household expenses. Can he be made to pay me something to help with bills since he walked out and left me with nothing. He works, and moved in with his family, paying them $400.00 per month to live there.
