My wife has applied for permission to raise our child abroad. The clinical psychologist has made a report recommending emigration and I think the judge will accept her findings. What can I do ?

Secondly, if this fails, and the court does accept the recommendations of the report, it is possible to appeal against the successful emigration plea and immediately ask for a delay in the implementation of the judgment – i.e. a delay in cancelling any temporary orders preventing the child’s exit from Israel – pending the results of the appeal.
