Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois
There was a pending dissolution of marriage; then husband dies; the moment he died the court --domestic relations--lost jurisdiction. Is that correct?
If that is correct, then any ruling made by domestic relations judge was dismissed or invalid; correct?

Hello. Once the husband died, the wife should have filed a motion to dismiss and produce a copy of his death certificate. The court will then dismissed the case.
