Will a court grant an order banning a husband/father from the family home if there is a religious festival or holiday on the horizon ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 09 May, 2022Yes, the fact that family members tend to be at home together, which increases the potential for conflict where the relationships are problematic, makes it more vital to issue an protection in time to cover a religious festival or holiday, where grounds for its granting are proved. The Jerusalem Family Court issued a protection order, keeping the emotionally violent husband/father out of the family home for a month, as a matter of urgency shortly before Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement). It covered the annual Succot (Feast of Tabernacles ) holiday period, too.
