How long can a person (woman) be separated from marriage not living in the house with a married spouse and the other partner (husband) file for a divorce? The husband filed for a disillusionment of marriage (the wife didn't show up). The pastor of the church married the husband to someone else, the pastor (who is a licensed minister in the state of Cook County). Is the separated couple still married by law (state of Cook County)?
