ISRAEL • INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES • A CLEARER NEXT STEP
Divorce & Separation for International Families
When separation involves more than one country, it helps to see the whole picture before deciding what to do next.
ICBFL helps you organise the family, financial and practical questions connecting Israel with another country, and prepare for discussions with independent licensed lawyers.
Start with a brief enquiry. Any paid support is discussed before you agree.
Make sense of the issues that connect your countries
Jurisdiction and proceedings
Where each person lives, where a marriage took place and any proceedings already underway are useful starting points. We help you set out the facts and questions. An independent lawyer assesses which courts and legal routes may be relevant.
International assets and spousal support
Property, accounts, business interests and support arrangements across countries can make preparation more complex. Organise what you know about the assets and commitments, then discuss disclosure, spousal support and enforcement with qualified counsel.
Separation and parenting arrangements
A useful summary covers the children’s routines, living arrangements and the practical issues you need to resolve. We help prepare that summary. Drafting, approving and assessing the enforceability of separation agreements belongs with independent licensed lawyers.
Prepare for a focused first conversation
You do not need every answer before contacting us. Explain the countries involved, whether either person has started proceedings, and the question that matters most to you.
- Where each partner and any children currently live
- Any existing proceedings, agreements or upcoming dates
- The main property, support or parenting questions
- Your preferred language and a safe way to contact you
Support for different family situations
International couples, English-speaking expats, Israelis abroad and same-sex couples may have different questions about separation. Tell us how your family is connected to Israel. We can help prepare the context for appropriate independent counsel, without assuming that one route fits every family.

Already received documents or a court date?
Mention the date clearly and contact a licensed lawyer directly if immediate legal action may be needed. An enquiry to ICBFL does not pause a deadline.
