Does a father still have to pay his minor children maintenance if their mother, whom he divorced, relocates abroad with them, and he was against this ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 02 June, 2022Yes ! A father is obliged to pay child maintenance for his minor children under Israeli law, whether they live in Israel or abroad. His obligation to support them financially is not dependent on their territorial or geographic location. Furthermore, it does not matter if he was against the relocation either, and his ‘ex’ had to file and win court permission for it.
