Whether you are seriously dating, recently engaged, married, or are just now finding the time to think about it, seeking counsel about a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is a smart decision. These agreements protect your assets in the event of a divorce and help reduce financial conflict down the road.

Ailie has the experience and knowledge necessary to draft, review, or help you and your partner mediate a pre- or postnuptial agreement.

Divorce is a difficult process for any couple. Gay and lesbian individuals face unique issues when contemplating marriage, starting a family or during a separation and divorce. Some partnerships predate the right to marry and other protections under the law. Since relevant case law and procedures are still evolving, same sex couples who wish to divorce may feel they face more uncertainty in the courts. For this reason, many couples prefer to settle outside of court on their own terms.

When both spouses want a divorce and agree to all relevant terms, moving forward with an uncontested divorce is a legally sound and wise decision. Unlike a contested divorce, where a court or adversarial lawyers make decisions, an uncontested or no fault divorce enables couples to choose their own terms in a negotiated or mediated settlement. Couples who agree to an uncontested divorce in New York never have to go to court.  

Ailie offers experienced counsel at any stage in the uncontested divorce process. Whether you're seeking an attorney to review your negotiated settlement or are just beginning the process, Ailie will ensure the next steps are handled efficiently and effectively.

For many divorcing couples, how assets and finances will be divided is an issue of deep concern. Will I be able to maintain my lifestyle? Who keeps the family home? What if my spouse hasn't worked outside of the home? What is marital property? Whatever your questions or fears, Ailie L. Silbert Family Law and Mediation will empower you with solid legal insight and solutions that are fair, reasonable, and sustainable.

New York courts have the right to determine child custody and child support guided by a set formula. But no court understands the needs of children better than their parents. That's why Ailie L. Silbert Family Law and Mediation is committed to guiding parents through mediation or a negotiated settlement suited to your family's circumstances.

Whether you're concerned over the costs of raising your child or are concerned over how time will be divided, Ailie can craft a solution right for your family.
