Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I have filed for divorce and our first court date is November 2, 2010. We both originally agreed to not retain laywers due to our financial situations but now 6 days before court I find out he has one. I cannot afford a lawyer so I have to represent myself. What should I expect, what should I be prepared for and what rights do I have? Any advice would be helpful.
