Israeli Court Enforces Divorce for U.S. Resident After Financial Pressure
A woman residing in the United States has successfully obtained a Jewish divorce, known as a 'get', from her husband after a prolonged three-year legal battle. The couple, who lived in Florida for over a decade, separated in 2023. The husband initially refused to grant the divorce, demanding financial compensation despite a rabbinical order. The woman sought assistance from Yad La’isha, a legal aid center for agunot, which led to the Haifa Rabbinical Court imposing financial sanctions on the husband's assets in Israel. These sanctions included liens on bank accounts and real estate, which eventually pressured the husband to comply and grant the divorce.
