How is child custody determined in Illinois?
Under Illinois law, married parents have joint residential and legal custody of a child born of the marriage while they are married. With unmarried parents, the mother has sole legal and residential custody of the child until a finding of paternity is made and the father petitions the court for some form of custody.
Can your wife lock you out of the house?
No, she legally may not lock you out of your matrimonial home. Neither spouse can lock the other out of the home they shared as spouses unless and only if there is a court order requiring it (e.g., a protective order barring you from the house), or after disposition of the home is determined in the divorce.03/08/2017
Can I have my husband removed from your house?
Both spouses are entitled to live in the family home, regardless of whose name is on the title to the house. In the event of a dispute, you cannot force your spouse to leave unless a court orders it. The court regards the exclusion of a party to the family home as a very serious matter.31/03/2014
