Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My sister was married for eight years and had three children when she had an affair. The affair resulted in the birth of triplets. My brother-in-law did not ask for a divorce at the time because their youngest daughter (18 months) was diagnosed with cancer that required long and regular chemo treatments. He did not to make matters more difficult for his children at the time. My sister continued with the affair and to this day is on good terms with this man. He has paternal rights to the children and pays a small amount of child support. My sister, the triplets and the remaining daughter still live in the home with my brother-in-law. My sister and her husband have had no sexual relations since just prior to the birth of the triplets. My sister has only worked two years during the marriage and went to school and received a bachelors degree 4 years ago. If she divorces my brother-in-law will she get alimony?

Wow. If your sister has the audacity to ask for alimony after she was essentially a _______ , lived off of her husband while he paid for her to go to school, kept having an affair for years, and having put that poor husband through all that, give me the number for the husband so I can represent him!

People never cease to amaze me.
