How long can a get refusal case take in Israel?

A case where the Rabbinical Court quickly finds grounds for get chiyuv can resolve in 6 to 18 months. Cases involving contested grounds, appeals to the Great Rabbinical Court, or a husband who ignores sanctions can stretch for years. Statistics from the Rabbinical Courts Administration indicate an average compliance time of approximately 14 months after a get chiyuv ruling, faster when multiple sanctions — travel ban, licence suspension, ongoing spousal support, tort damages — are running concurrently.
