As a father in Illinois, I had a lot of fear — statistically, the law does not favor men in child custody. I was extremely lucky to find Arami Law. Kourosh explained to me it was not about ego or revenge, but about doing what’s best for my son.
Arami Law quickly became a steady voice for me. Not once did I feel pushed toward something — the direction we took was always grounded in what was best for my child. Arami was a tireless advocate, and I’m genuinely grateful for the guidance and support.
I worked with Kourosh on my initial case and subsequent updates over the span of several years. Kourosh was very attentive, detailed, and provided excellent representation during the very difficult aspects of any family law process. I would highly recommend him.
I cannot recommend Atty. Kourosh Arami highly enough. He never overpromised — he gave me realistic best-case and worst-case scenarios so I could make informed decisions with confidence. He treated my case with a level of care that made me feel like more than just a client.

Kourosh Arami has been practicing family law in Illinois for more than 20 years. He earned his JD from Chicago-Kent College of Law and is a graduate of Northwestern University and Loyola University Chicago (MBA).
Arami Law specializes in high-asset divorce, complex property division, business-owner divorce, spousal maintenance (alimony), child custody, parenting time and visitation, prenuptial agreements, and post-decree modifications. The firm is particularly experienced with cases involving business interests, real estate, retirement and investment accounts, and other intricate marital assets.
Illinois follows the equitable-distribution model — marital property is divided fairly rather than necessarily equally. The court considers factors including each spouse’s contribution to the marital estate, length of the marriage, economic circumstances, custodial provisions for children, and any prenuptial agreement. “Equitable” doesn’t mean a 50/50 split; it means what’s fair given the full picture.
Spousal maintenance (formerly called alimony) is financial support paid by one spouse to the other after divorce. Illinois uses statutory guidelines that consider the spouses’ combined gross income, the length of the marriage, and other factors. For marriages of 5 to 20+ years, the duration of maintenance is determined by a length-of-marriage formula in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
