A family court in Tel Aviv has ordered a father to pay NIS 4,500 per month in child support for his three children, ruling on a temporary basis amidst a contentious divorce.
The wife had requested approximately NIS 90,000 per month in total, including NIS 43,000 for the children, NIS 13,700 for their housing, and NIS 19,300 in rehabilitative alimony for herself, citing her husband's high income from his successful clinic and investments.
She claimed his business earnings exceeded NIS 18 million annually, with a monthly income over NIS 100,000. The husband, however, countered that his salary was NIS 32,000 monthly and that his investments were not yielding consistent returns, even leading to losses. He also asserted his wife, who manages a studio, earns approximately NIS 220,000 per month, arguing she was not entitled to rehabilitative alimony.
Judge Inbal Vakin-Hernstein found the income of both parties to be substantial but different from their claims. She determined the father's monthly income to be NIS 66,000 (NIS 31,000 salary, NIS 35,000 dividends) and the mother's to be an estimated NIS 40,000. Based on these figures, she allocated 62% of expenses to the father and 38% to the mother.
The court denied the wife's request for housing support for the children, noting they reside in the shared marital home and the mortgage payments were frozen by mutual agreement, with the father previously covering them. Extraordinary education and medical expenses will be split according to the 62%-38% income ratio. The judge also rejected the wife's claim for rehabilitative alimony, citing her successful business, substantial income, and the impending finalization of their divorce.
