As gay couples in New York gear up for the first full weekend during which they’re eligible to tie the knot, someone they hope they’ll never run into has a few words of caution: be careful.

That someone is the divorce lawyer, the antidote to petits fours and place settings, with an admonishment to homosexual brides- and grooms-to-be to legally protect themselves before saying “I do.” “Not to take a bloom off this romantic rose, but as people are lining up for marriage licenses, it’s something to think about,” says Lois Liberman, a divorce attorney and partner at Blank Rome LLP, one of New York City’s largest matrimonial firms.

Sometimes, the sheer act of getting married is enough to torpedo a relationship. “I would hate to call that a trend, but I’ve seen people together for 18 years, then they finally got married, and after several years, the chafing of legal bounds do a number on people,” says Liberman.
