Yes, if the child maintenance the custodial parent receives for the children does not include an element for accommodation, then it is possible to sue the non-custodial parent for 40% of the accommodation costs for two children to cover costs such as electricity, municipality taxes, water, gas and house committee fees (‘Va’ad Bayit’)
