Muslim Divorces

Muslims divorcing in the United States often face cultural and religious complexities that many attorneys and courts are unfamiliar with. I am frequently asked to help educate judges and opposing counsel in Illinois about these nuances, and I stay at the forefront of legal developments that impact Muslim families.

Issues such as Mehr, Talaq, family involvement, and disputes over wedding gifts aren’t unique to Muslim families, but they do require an attorney who understands their religious and cultural context while navigating an otherwise secular legal system.

I bring not only legal experience in these matters but also a trusted network of professionals — including religious leaders for mediation and therapists who understand the lived experience of divorcing as a person of faith — to ensure clients receive comprehensive, culturally grounded support.
