Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois

A civil case for retaliatory discharge against my former employer has been filed. During the recruitment process, employment, and up to the time I was terminated, I was a resident in the same county and state in which the case has been filed. Am I required to maintain a residence in the county/state to continue with the case ?
