Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Hello. My answer is based upon the statements made by you in your posting. You need a lawyer to look into your situation. In my opinion, you are entitled to the same benefits that you would have received, if you were still living with your husband because you are still married to him. If you file for divorce or legal separation, you may be entitled to maintenance which used to be referred to as alimony in the State of Illinois. I have additional comments and suggestions that I can make concerning this matter.
