Child Custody and Visitation Arrangements
How are custody and visitation arrangements determined, and what impact do they have on child support obligations?
Tender Years Presumption
Under Israeli law, the Tender Years Doctrine generally grants mothers custody of children under six during divorce, with limited exceptions.
Parental Alienation and Refusal of Contact
Not every disruption in parent-child contact constitutes parental alienation. In some cases, a child’s refusal of contact may be considered a legitimate response to the circumstances.
Parental Alienation Syndrome
In some cases, one parent may manipulate the children against the other. When severe, this harmful behavior can become a recognized psychological disorder affecting both the children and the targeted parent.
Parental Relocation Abroad
When a parent wishes to move abroad — with or without the children — it can have far-reaching consequences. Learn when and how a court may approve relocation.
Identifying Parental Alienation
Recognizing the signs of parental alienation is essential. However, it is important to distinguish genuine alienation from legitimate cases where a child resists contact for valid reasons.
Transferring Custody from Mother to Father
In certain circumstances, custody may be transferred from the mother to the father. This typically requires demonstrating a significant change in circumstances or that the transfer serves the child’s best interests.
