Notable Cases from the Past Year

Representation of a Child Requiring Life-Saving Treatment Abroad – The firm represents a minor requiring life-saving medical treatment, advocating for the child’s right to travel to the U.S. for this care. The Rabbinical Court and the father are opposing the family’s stay in the U.S., pushing for their return despite the child’s critical medical needs. The mother has been declared as having abducted her children under the Hague Convention, and substantial funds from the sale of their home (hundreds of thousands of shekels) have been seized.

Management of a Complex Divorce and Child Abduction Case – The firm manages a complex divorce case involving extensive assets, including a restaurant chain, multiple homes, and a vehicle fleet. Despite court orders from the Family Court, District Court, and Supreme Court to remain in the north, the mother relocated with her children to the south. After a determined legal struggle, she was returned to the north. Recently, the mother abducted the children again, and new motions have been filed with the court.
