Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

my sister filed for divorce last yr because she found her husband had not been making the house payment and found receipts with around 11,000.00 dollars. they were not getting along at all. at first here husband didn't want anything just to get divorced. however he got her car right away leaving her without transportation. any way after a about 8 mo of going to court (she hired 2 different attys and they both drained her financially for nothing) she had to fire both of them. her and her husband got together and started dating (still going on w divorce) they were sleeping together she really wanted to make it work he told her he loved her so much blah blah, all kinds of lies. he told her he wanted to take her places. they dated for about 2 months. then they went to court and her husband asked her if she was coming over to cook out that nite. she asked his atty what was going on in court today and he said we are working on your house. Since her husband signed a form for her to talk to the mortgage company she had thought this whole time she was keeping the house. she worked so hard with them to fix the behind payments he left her with finally she got a payment amount and was going to keep her home. she was so happy. my sister walked out before court because she was so angry about this she thought the house was over with. so he dated her, had sex with her, took he places and gave her hope that they may make it work and got her to trust him again. after there last court date he stopped by and she asked him what happened in court and he told her he dismissed it, he said he was so happy he didnt have to make atty payments anymore that they could resolve this mess. and she did not have to worry about going to court the next court date. so she listned to him. big mistake because he was granted everything and he nothing but a 95 jeep that doesnt run. all because he played a rotton game w her heart. the divorce papers said she did not show up to court so they granted him it all. Pretty smart on his part huh. Well my question is-is that legal to lead a spouse with a lie like that and tell them they did not have to go to court? Granted she should have checked w the court house but he made sure she believed him. the home was all ready to go to her it is her and her 16 yr old daughters home for 7yrs she loved that house. so after her husband decides he wants the house he planned this game and is letting his daughter buy it from him??? how can this be? Since my sister has been in the hospital from a nervous breakdown because of all of this. she had one too last year when she found the reciepts he was hiding. my sister has a great job and can afford to keep her home. is there anything we can do since they were dating. my sister really fell back in love with this guy. he gave her 7 days to get out she was in the hospital so we all moved her out. then he said if he doesnt get his table (which has ben hers for yrs) he was having her held in contempt. there are a couple of things that were not there that he got that my sister had sold a long long time ago.
