The divorce agreement is a very important document. Not only does it detail how your assets are going to be divided, what arrangements are going to be made regarding your children, and what maintenance payments are going to be made and by whom, but just as importantly when properly drafted, the divorce agreement provides the structure within which your family – divided – will continue to function in the future. A properly drafted divorce agreement will ensure that there are no misunderstandings between you and your ex-spouse in the future, and will provide for a mechanism for dealing with misunderstandings or life altering changes. A poorly drafted divorce agreement will leave both you and/or your ex-spouse with negative feelings and possibly will lead to litigation in the future.

We can help you to make sure that your divorce agreement addresses all of your needs now – and anticipates your needs in the future. Call us or email us to arrange for a free initial consultation.

When the two parties getting divorced can’t agree on the divorce issues, then they usually end up in litigation. Divorce litigation in Israel can be a complex and expensive process and can involve multiple courts – both religious and secular. We work with our clients to build and then execute litigation plans which a) put a cap on legal fees, b) take into account both our clients’ needs and wants, and c) are tailored to maximize our clients legal rights (i.e. in different courts).

Of course, the best time to consult with us is before any litigation has begun. In those cases, many times we are able either to avoid litigation altogether, or to determine in which court the litigation will occur. We are committed to ensuring that our clients are able to maximize their legal rights in the course of their divorces.

There is a lot of confusion out there regarding which court has jurisdiction over divorce in Israel. This stems from the fact that although the religious courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the “divorce” – the legal termination of the marriage -, jurisdiction for all of the other matters connected with the divorce can be heard by the civil family court (i.e. custody, division of assets, maintenance, etc.). Additionally, if the couple getting divorced have different religions or are members of a religion without a court system of its own in Israel, then there is a different type of procedure for getting divorced.

We can help you to make sure that your case is heard in front of the forum which is most beneficial for you, or if the forum has already been chosen by your spouse’s choice of court, we can help you to make sure that you get a fair divorce with the maximum rights you are entitled to.
