Family Law
Can a foreigner get divorced in Israel?
Yes, but jurisdiction depends on the couple's religion and residency. Jewish couples in Israel are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Rabbinical Courts for the divorce itself. Non-Jewish foreigners may petition the Family Court. The question of which court has jurisdiction is often the first legal issue to resolve.
