Arutz 7 A divorced father recently got a taste of the unique justice meted
out by Israel's secular family courts when he was ordered to pay child
support to his ex-wife despite the fact that the former couple's
children reside almost exclusively with the father.
According to Attorney Inbar Lev, who represents the father, the
couple divorced at the request of the wife, who moved in with her
mother. Lev claims that the wife severed her contact with the children
almost completely, and that the children chose to live with their
father.
Despite this, the wife sued for joint physical custody over the
children and for child support – a demand that Lev called
“unreasonable,” because “it enables the mother to continue to live at
the father's expense without justification.”
Judge Yehezkel Eliyahu explained in his decision that he was granting
the mother's request for joint custody and specifying a parenting
schedule “in order to strengthen the bond between the children and their
mother,” and that as a result of this, the father must pay the
mother child support.
Lev claimed that the father cannot force his children to be with
their mother and that they are the ones who decided to see very little
of her. Therefore, she said, the court-ordered parenting schedule “is no
more than a desire of the heart and certainly is implemented in
reality.”
She added that in the absurd situation that has resulted, the father
is paying the mother child support, supposedly for the children, while
at the same time paying in full for their livelihood. She demanded that
the child support payments cease and that the father be reimbursed for
funds already paid. In addition, she demanded that the state child
allowance, which is currently paid completely to the mother, be
transferred to the father.[...]
why , why has nobody commented here???????
ReplyDeleteThe reason no one has commented here is because this is such a sad joke, so far in left field, that there is actually nothing to say. In Yiddish, they refer to this as a bittere gelechter, a
ReplyDeletebitter laughter, or laughing through one's tears.
A retired israeli family court judge was recently in passaic, nj and said something to the affect of his view that women are good and men are bad. Not what you call even handed. I imagine he views himself as the exception to his little rule.
