Their son, Alexander Halsband Kliment was born in 1979. They made their home in New York City and Woodstock New York. Kliment retired from KHA in 2013, and passed away in 2017.{{Cite news|last=Martin|first=Olivia|url=https://archpaper.com/2017/06/robert-kliment-cofounder-kliment-halsband/|title=Robert Kliment, cofounder of Kliment Halsband Architects, has passed|date=9 January 2017|work=The Architect's Newspaper|access-date=1 April 2020}}

Halsband's interest in architecture was sparked by her grandmother and her mother, who were both involved in the field of art. She originally attended Swarthmore college as an English major, though she took an interest in hanging out at Penn with architecture students. She decided to switch to an art history major because of this to minimize the time she had to spend in class at Swarthmore. The time she spent at Swarthmore College made her decide to attend Columbia University for architecture classes where she made connections with important people. Once she finished her studies at Columbia, she began her work at Mitchell Giugola Architects, where she worked under Robert Kliment. After he had been her boss for a few years, they decided to start their firm together in 1972.
