Legal Guides for the Divorce Process

The first step is consulting a family law attorney. The lawyer will assess your situation, explain options (consensual or contested divorce), and prepare a legal strategy. It's also recommended to gather financial documents and learn about your rights through our guides.

Theoretically yes, but it's not recommended. Even in consensual divorce, a lawyer ensures the agreement protects your rights and covers all legal aspects. A poorly drafted divorce agreement can cause legal and financial problems in the future.

In Israel, both spouses are entitled to an equal share of assets accumulated during marriage (resource balancing). Both parents have equal custody rights. There may be additional rights to spousal support, pension rights, and housing. An expert lawyer will ensure all your rights are protected.
