You can go out of State for help. Technically, you have to get your husband's permission to move with the children out of State, however, if he's living with someone else and is an alcoholic, he'll probably be glad that you're leaving. On the other hand, you could file for divorce here in Illinois and request leave of court to remove your child. However, that would require you to stay here for an extended period while the divorce is in progress. In the meantime, you could at least move locally so that you don't have to observe him and his girlfriend on a daily basis.
