Yes! On November 11th, 2024, in a similar matter, The Family Court in Petach Tikva (Family Case 2192-04-22) ordered the ex-husband to pay his ex-wife half of the family house’s usage fees, (as assessed by the Court appointed expert) in the amount of 4,200 NIS, a month, starting from the date, that the ex-wife has left the family home.
