Q: My ex-husband filed a lawsuit against me to cancel a financial and divorce agreement that he signed with me, in which he gave me several properties. The agreement was approved in court and in the Rabbinical Court. He claims that he signed it because I misled him. My ex-husband is a businessman and economist by training. Do I have a chance in court against him?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 08 September, 2025A: Yes, your chances are very good. In a similar case that was brought to the Family Court, and a judgement was given on 25.5.25, a similar claim was dismissed, where a number of financial agreements were signed, which were approved by the Family Court and the Rabbinical Court. The husband claimed that he signed the agreements because he was a widower and had fallen victim to deception and oppression by his wife, but the court was impressed that as a businessman and owner of many companies, he understood exactly what he was signing. The court dismissed the claim and ordered the husband to pay legal costs.
