I have been considering divorce and when I shared my thoughts with my wife she immediately filed for ‘Shlom Bayit’ at the rabbinical court. What are the financial implications of this ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 12 May, 2022Where the couple are Jewish and one of the parties has filed for ‘Shlom Bayit’ (marital reconciliation) at the rabbinical court this has negative implications for the husband financially. The ‘Shlom Bayit’ plea is designed to defer the date for the division of the couple’s property and the separation of their finances, so that it in effect enlarges the period for the wife’s claim to property.
