Answer:
In Illinois, at least one spouse must have been a resident for at least ninety days before filing for divorce. You can file for dissolution in the county where either spouse resides.
If your husband is in federal prison and not in Illinois, you may still be able to proceed without his consent. However, you typically do not need his signature to file for divorce. It's advisable to consult an attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
