More details to this question:
I came to the US with my fiancé 15 months ago. We were married here in IL 13 months ago. We now must divorce. I have no idea what to do. I have almost no friends or support here and almost no income. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Did your fiance sponsor you under the immigration laws? If he did, he must comply with that agreement, no matter what a divorce law says. If he or she did not do so, a short term marriage does not usually afford a basis for support. But you do not say why you must get divorced.
