Property Division

A Tel Aviv District Court rejected a diamond merchant's appeal, ruling he must pay his ex-wife 4.4 million shekels based on the separation date's asset value. The court also increased his payment by 200,000 shekels due to earning capacity gaps.

Judge Alex Stein rejected the husband's appeal, who claimed the property was purchased with his father's money. It was determined that investment and long-term cohabitation created an intent of sharing, while the wife's apartment will remain her sole property.

A couple signed a prenuptial agreement establishing separation of property. The wife later sought to cancel it after discovering her husband had concealed assets. The court issued a ruling and provided guidance on how to protect against asset concealment in marital agreements.

After more than 40 years of marriage, an ultra-Orthodox woman accused her spouse of financial abuse, an affair funded by joint assets, and hiding assets. However, the court rejected her demands.

The District Court accepted the appeal of a woman who claimed that her husband hid joint assets worth millions of shekels by registering them in his mother's name, and returned the case for an in-depth factual investigation.

The judge rejected a claim to cancel a prenuptial agreement despite a $400,000 account that was exposed, but ordered the husband to share the penthouse he hid in Jerusalem.

A woman whose relatives were kidnapped argued that the cessation of intimate relations on October 7, 2023, should mark the date for property division. The court ruled that family dissolution is determined by the totality of circumstances, including economic separation, and set the date of rupture to January 2025.
