Which parent bears the burden of travel costs involved in the exercise of visitation rights when both live in Israel ?

By: דיאנה שאלתיאלPublished on: 02 June, 2022

Where both parents live in Israel unless they live at a great distance from one another (e.g. at opposite ends of the country) there will not usually be specific mention of the issue. What usually happens is that it is taken into account in one of two ways. The first is by physically sharing the travel burden – so that on one occasion the non-custodial parent will collect and return the child, and on the next the custodial parent will take the child to the non-custodial parent and collect him at the end of the visit. The second way is for visitation  travel costs to be taken into account when the non-custodial parent’s maintenance obligation is calculated.
