Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois

Call the court clerk. Your divorce is irrelevant unless that possibility was somehow written into your lease as a reason for you to be able to terminate it or something...which would be highly unusual, and the judge won't care either. BUT if you and your husband signed the lease, the landlord can serve either one of you, and even if you didn't sign the lease but were present to accept summons, that is good service on both of you (assuming you're older than 13 which may sound strange but that's the legal requirement). If he is a jerk or just trying to limit his own liability, he might have accepted service so that the landlord could force you out and limit his liability for more rent. The on-line information may only mean (and you can call the court clerk for confirmation) is that on a date certain is when the 'return date' is, ie when you're supposed to show up in court, IF you were served. Since the on-line information may not show that detail information, and unless you're in a county where you can call and have the court clerk pull the file while you're on the phone (doubtful), you'd have to go to court and pull the file to see what there is, and it may not show up until that 'return date". I recommend you get local counsel to help because you may very well easily get 'lost' in the legal jargon related to evictions and do something to yourself that could be bad.
