Your husband will have to clear the Illinois requirements. He has been ill advised to wait so long to do so.

If he has four convictions Illinois will not issue him any driving relief. We have a bill in the hopper to change that. It's being voted on soon.

I've heard of a plate impoundment being extended for that long, but I suppose he won't be able to get valid in MN since IL won't let him get valid there. Your best bet is to obtain a different vehicle that doesn't have his name on the title.

Mr. Patrin provided you with a splendid reply. You appear to have two issues. Your spouse presumably must address his issues in IL. You may seek to purchase a vehicle in your name, separate from your spouse. Tricia Dwyer Esq.
