Frequently Asked Questions
- Does a prenuptial agreement require court approval?
- Yes. A prenuptial agreement must be approved by a family court or a notary before it acquires binding legal force. Professional drafting is essential — agreements prepared without legal advice may be invalid or produce unintended consequences.
- What is the advantage of mediation over court proceedings?
- Mediation allows the parties to reach agreements quietly and with less hostility, while preserving a functional relationship — especially important when there are shared children. It is faster, more efficient, less expensive, and its outcomes are controlled by the parties rather than left to a judge's discretion.
- How is property divided in a divorce?
- In Israel the principle of "resource balancing" applies — assets accumulated during the marriage are divided equally between the parties, except for inheritances and personal gifts received. This mechanism applies at the end of the marriage, unless a prenuptial agreement sets out a different arrangement.
- What can be determined in a prenuptial agreement?
- Almost every financial aspect of the marriage: separation of assets, maintenance arrangements in the event of separation, division of specific assets, pension rights and more. A prenuptial agreement can be made before or during the marriage, and gives both parties certainty and security.
