Divorce Litigation
Litigation is sometimes necessary to protect your rights or to resolve disputes that cannot be settled through negotiation. I represent clients in both the Family Court and the Beit Din, with extensive experience navigating the procedural, emotional, and strategic challenges that arise in contested divorce cases.
Family litigation typically involves four main issues:
- Religious divorce (Get)
- Property settlement
- Child support (mezonot)
- Child custody
My team and I are also experienced in a range of related and urgent family-law matters, including:
- Enforcement of child support judgments, in Israel and abroad
- International child abduction and Hague Convention proceedings
- Travel restrictions and applications for travel approvals
- Restraining orders and protection of vulnerable parties
- Parental alienation and breakdowns in parent-child relationships
As both a professionally accredited lawyer and mediator – and as someone who has learned much through “trial by fire” – I bring not only legal expertise but also hard-earned practical insight.
Having personally experienced many of the same frustrations and pressures my clients face, I understand how overwhelming family litigation can be. That perspective allows me to combine strategic thinking with genuine empathy and realism.
As an Anglo oleh, I work with many English-speaking clients who value the ability to communicate with someone who understands both their language and cultural background.
Working with me means you have someone who can explain Israel’s legal system clearly and guide you through it with sensitivity – avoiding the isolation that can come from navigating a foreign court system alone.
