In the soft glow of February, a month synonymous with love, another story unfolds in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois—one not of romance but of its unraveling. On February 11, 2025, Juliana Kumpys, 38, filed a petition for the dissolution of her marriage to Arlandas Kumpys, 41, marking the end of a union that began on October 26, 2012. Represented by Kristina J. Wayne of the Law Offices of Kristina J. Wayne, P.C., Juliana cited irreconcilable differences as the cause for the marriage’s breakdown, a statement that, in its starkness, says everything and nothing all at once.
From the outside, the couple seemed to have built a solid foundation—both business owners, both rooted in Willow Springs, Cook County. Yet beneath the surface, fractures widened until reconciliation became an impractical fiction. The petition outlines a future divided: an equitable split of marital property, independent financial obligations, and shared parenting responsibilities for their one-year-old daughter. While each party is deemed fit for joint decision-making, the petition calls for Arlandas to pay child support and contribute to their daughter’s medical and extracurricular expenses.
Notably, Juliana seeks to bar any claims for maintenance, signaling a desire to move forward without financial entanglements beyond the well-being of their child. The legal machinery will now determine how 12 years of marriage will be unspooled, turning what was once shared into separate entities. In a month draped in the mythology of devotion, the stark legal language of dissolution cuts through, underscoring that not all love stories last forever.
