Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The amendment extends the Law for Family Dispute Resolution, which was set as a temporary provision for three years, and now sets the temporary provision for a period of five years. The Law provides that parties wishing to file a claim concerning a family dispute with a family court or a religious court must first submit to that court a request for dispute resolution, rather than a detailed statement of claim. After the request is filed, the parties are invited to an information, orientation and coordination meeting at the assistance unit attached to the judicial instance (hereinafter – the orientation meeting), where they receive information on the legal, emotional, social and economic implications of the divorce for themselves and their children, as well as information on the ways that may help resolve the dispute between them by agreement; this is done through mediation, cooperative divorce or any other method. In addition, the assistance unit helps the parties reach temporary arrangements by agreement. This Law is a merger of the Family Dispute Resolution Bill (temporary provision) (Amendment No. 2), 2020, submitted by the Government, and the Family Dispute Resolution Bill (temporary provision) (Amendment – Making Permanent), 2020, submitted by Knesset Member Merav Michaeli.
