Frequently Asked Questions – Divorce & Family Law<\/div>\n \n
\n
\n
\n What is the difference between divorce in the Family Court and divorce in the Rabbinical Court? <\/div>\n
\n
\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n How is child custody determined in divorce proceedings? <\/div>\n
\n
\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n Is a divorce agreement mandatory? <\/div>\n
\n
\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n What do you do when a parent breaches visitation arrangements? <\/div>\n
\n
\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n Can a decision on custody or support be modified? <\/div>\n
\n
\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n
