Visitation Rights

A Tel Aviv family court ruled to suspend visitation between a divorced father and his teenage sons due to their strong refusal to meet. The judge adopted welfare recommendations, citing that forcing contact could cause further harm.

A mother of an 8-year-old girl was required to pay 150 shekels for every cancellation of a meeting between the child and her father. He sued to raise the amount to 1,000 shekels, but the court ruled: “An extreme and draconian demand.”
