Notable Cases

Imposition of Financial Sanctions on an Alienating Parent –In a complex parental alienation case in which the firm represented the mother, the court ordered the father to cooperate with a parental alienation expert appointed at the firm’s request, including bringing the children to regular therapeutic sessions, and imposed significant financial sanctions for non-compliance.
This decision ultimately led to the renewal of contact between the mother and her children.
Enforcement of a Prenuptial Agreement and Rejection of Property Sharing Claims – The firm represented the husband in a complex case concerning the validity and scope of a prenuptial agreement, in which the wife claimed property sharing contrary to the agreement executed between the parties. The court rejected the wife’s claims, enforced the prenuptial agreement as written, and reinforced the principles of legal certainty and reliance on agreements between spouses.
Good Faith in the Conduct of Legal Proceedings – In a case handled by the firm, the court disqualified evidence that had been unlawfully submitted, consisting of a recording and transcript of a confidential mediation meeting held at the Family Assistance Unit.
The court ruled that recording a confidential mediation session constitutes a substantial legal flaw and ordered the opposing party to pay legal costs.
Payment of Use Fees Following a False Police Complaint– The firm represented a husband against whom a false police complaint had been filed. After the criminal case was closed for lack of guilt, the court ruled that under the circumstances, the wife was required to pay use fees for her exclusive residence in the jointly owned apartment.
As part of the property balance, the wife was ordered to pay the husband approximately NIS 20,000.
Dismissal of a Claim to Reduce Alimony and Void a Divorce Agreement – In a case in which the firm represented the mother, the court dismissed a claim to reduce alimony and annul a divorce agreement, ruling that no material change in circumstances had occurred to justify intervention in the agreement, even in light of the Israeli Supreme Court ruling in BAAM 919/15, while establishing guiding principles for determining a material change in circumstances.
