Yes, possibly. In a ruling from October 6^th, 2024, the Family Court in the Krayot ordered the mother to refund the father for all the child support payments he made during a year for their daughter who moved in with her boyfriend a year before and no longer lived with her mother (Family Case # 61250-05-22).

No ! Children are not parties to such an agreement and would not be bound by it. Accordingly, minor children are able to file their own, independent plea in the future.If filed, the court will decide on it according to its merits.

No ! As long as the agreement has not been changed, or cancelled, then it is still in force and obliges the husband to continue paying his wife maintenance , according to the terms stated in it. This applies as long as the marriage exists formally and as long as the rabbinical court has not held that the wife is not entitled to maintenance.
