Home / I am an Israeli living abroad where I divorced my wife, who is not Israeli. Our divorce judgment also dealt with a division of marital property and made reference to bank accounts in our joint and separate names in Israel. Will this judgment be recognized in Israel for the purposes of dividing up the money in the accounts and put an end to any proceedings in Israel regarding this ?
