Under my divorce agreement which was authorized in court, my ‘ex’ and I have to share the cost of any exceptional medical expenses not covered by our sick fund insurance. She has now filed me with a financial plea concerning exceptional medical expenses in the past and in the future and has included two specific demands . She has demanded that I pay half of the cost of dental treatment our daughter has had and half the cost of counselling our son has had. Each bill was for several thousand shekels. What are her chances of succeeding in her plea ?

The father should consider asking the court to strike out the plea because the mother could have taken steps at the bailiff’s office against the father. As no conditions are attached to the father’s undertaking to pay half of exceptional medical expenses the mother can present the divorce agreement and the medical bills at the Bailiff’s Office and ask for the father’s undertaking to pay half of these costs to be enforced.
