(750 ILCS 65/16) (from Ch. 40, par. 1016)
Sec. 16.
Neither the husband nor wife can remove the other or their
children from their homestead without the consent of the other, unless the
owner of the property shall, in good faith, provide another homestead
suitable to the condition in life of the family; and if he abandons her,
she is entitled to the custody of their minor children, unless a court of
competent jurisdiction, upon application for that purpose, shall otherwise
direct.
