under Jewish law once a man is divorced he is under no financial obligation to support his ex-wife, though he can agree to do so. He is obliged to give her maintenance during the marriage if they were married in a Jewish religious ceremony.

Regarding the children, Jewish law places the burden of child maintenance on the father, solely until the minors are 15, at which point the mother may have to participate ,until they are 18, depending on the circumstances. During compulsory army service a child is still entitled to some maintenance.

In relation to other financial committments, it depends on whether the husband and wife make an agreement covering property or whether the court decides to divide up your marital property for them.
