Family law issues can be deeply personal, especially when they involve your children, your home, or your future. At Aiello & DiFalco LLP, we provide steady legal guidance to individuals and families across Long Island.
Whether you’re filing for divorce, negotiating custody, or preparing a prenuptial agreement, we help you make informed decisions with confidence. Our attorneys bring both skill and compassion to every case, offering thoughtful solutions that reflect your goals and protect your rights.
Family Law Matters We Handle
We represent clients across Long Island in a full range of family law matters, including:
Divorce
Whether you are preparing to file or have already been served with divorce papers, you deserve a trusted attorney in your corner. Divorce can involve high emotions, complex legal issues, and long-lasting consequences. At Aiello & DiFalco, we take the time to explain your rights and options, helping you pursue the best path forward. We handle both uncontested and contested divorce cases, with extensive experience in resolving issues through negotiation, mediation, and litigation when necessary.
Child Custody and Support
Disputes involving custody and support can be especially challenging for parents. We help clients create practical parenting plans that promote stability and are in the best interests of the child. Whether you are seeking joint custody, sole custody, or a modification of an existing arrangement, our attorneys will advocate for a resolution that reflects your goals and protects your parental rights. We also help ensure that child support calculations are accurate, fair, and enforceable.
Division of Marital Property
New York follows the rule of equitable distribution, meaning marital assets are divided fairly, but not always equally. We work with clients to identify, value, and divide property ranging from bank accounts and real estate to retirement benefits and closely held businesses. Our attorneys are skilled in handling high-net-worth divorces and cases involving complex asset structures.
Alimony (Spousal Maintenance)
Also known as spousal support or alimony, maintenance may be awarded to ensure one spouse has the financial support needed during or after a divorce. Whether you are seeking maintenance or being asked to pay it, our team can assess the appropriate amount and duration based on statutory guidelines and the specific facts of your case.
Divorce Mediation
Divorce doesn’t always have to be adversarial. Many Long Island couples are turning to divorce mediation as a way to reduce conflict, save time, and maintain more control over the outcome. At Aiello & DiFalco LLP, we guide clients through the mediation process with clarity and care, helping them make informed decisions that lead to lasting and mutually beneficial agreements.
In mediation, a neutral third party helps both spouses work through issues such as child custody, property division, and spousal support. Mediation is typically less expensive and more private than litigation, and it often results in better long-term cooperation between co-parents.
We help clients determine whether mediation is a viable option and represent their interests during the process. If mediation is right for you, we’ll ensure your legal rights are protected every step of the way.
Prenuptial Agreements for LI Couples
Whether you’re planning a wedding in Nassau County or building a life with someone you love in Suffolk County, a prenuptial agreement can provide peace of mind for both partners. At Aiello & DiFalco, we help Long Island couples draft fair, enforceable prenups tailored to their unique needs and goals.
Prenups aren’t just for the wealthy. They’re an innovative tool for anyone who wants to:
- Clarify how assets will be divided in the event of divorce
- Protect a family business or inheritance
- Establish financial expectations in advance
- Avoid costly legal battles later on
Our attorneys work closely with each client to create clear, customized agreements that accurately reflect their values and protect their future interests. We also review existing prenuptial agreements and guide on enforceability under New York law.
Order of Protection
If you are in immediate danger or have been the victim of domestic violence, you may be eligible for an order of protection. We assist clients in filing for orders of protection and represent them at hearings in family court. We also defend clients who have been wrongly accused. These cases require swift and sensitive legal action, and our firm is committed to protecting your safety and rights at every step.
