What can be done against my ex-husband who prevents the renewal of our minor son’s passport for reasons of revenge?

A: In this case, you can apply to the Family court with a request to order the Ministry of Interior to issue a passport for the minor. The procedure will be filed against the ex-husband and against the Ministry of Interior. If after hearing the parties’ positions, the court is convinced that there is no justification for restricting the minor’s freedom of movement, then the court is authorized to order the Ministry of Interior to issue a passport to the minor, despite the father’s objection to this.
