Throughout the process, clients receive representation in all relevant forums – the Rabbinical Court, the Family Court, and other bodies – including cases of false complaints, complex property disputes, and any other challenge within the divorce process.

Frequently Asked Questions – Divorce & Family Law
What is the difference between divorce in the Family Court and divorce in the Rabbinical Court?

The Family Court operates under a civil, egalitarian approach, while the Rabbinical Court operates according to religious law. In every case, the circumstances, jurisdiction, and interests of the parties are examined.

How is child custody determined in divorce proceedings?

Custody is determined based on the best interests of the child, parental capability, life circumstances, and sometimes the children’s wishes according to their age. There is currently a clear trend toward broader joint custody.

Is a divorce agreement mandatory?

There is no obligation, but a detailed divorce agreement approved before a competent tribunal settles all matters (property, custody, support, etc.) and reduces future disputes.

What do you do when a parent breaches visitation arrangements?

You can petition the court for enforcement of the visitation schedule or for modification. Repeated breaches may in some cases lead to a change in custody arrangements.

Can a decision on custody or support be modified?

Yes. A material change in circumstances (such as changes in income, health, or the children’s needs) allows filing a request to update previous decisions.
