Can a woman who has divorced but, with time, is not satisfied with her ‘lot’ under the divorce agreement authorized at the family court, actually do anything to rectify the situation ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 10 May, 2022A woman who is dissatisfied with her financial ‘lot’ under the divorce agreement authorized at the family court can file a plea to cancel it but the chances of success are very, very slim.
It may be possible , however, to take alternative legal action, depending on what part of the agreement is problematic . For example, if the woman has trouble making ends meet and under the agreement she has custody of the children and her ‘ex’ pays an agreed some of child maintenance but this is too low, the minors themselves can file for an increase. Judgments authorizing parental agreement on child maintenance are never final as the children are not parties to them and are not bound by them, and no discussion is held on the issue.
