me and my military have been seperated for more than 3 years i do not know where is and
have had no communication at all. so i started my life with someone else and we had a child would that hurt me if im trying to divorce my military spouse
No, having a child and a boyfriend will not really hurt you in Illinois. Fault has no bearing on outcome in Illinois. You really need to locate your husband and get divorced. If you need help doing that, I have the name of a military contact who might be able to assist you. Get a lawyer and start the process.
An additional complication that some persons will face are the protections given under the law to members of the military. This is called the "Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA)".
Judges generally require the signing of an affidavit regarding military service before granting divorce.
Navigating one's rights in the face of these rules may be complex so the consultation of an attorney experienced in such matters would be helpful. It is fairly easy to determine whether a military person is on active duty or not. This may be the first question that will be important to answer.
