Can I prevent my husband having the rabbinical court dealing with our case, and get a civil court to deal with proceedings between us concerning child custody, their maintenance and our property? Though my husband and I were married according to Jewish law, in Israel,my mother's conversion to Judaism took place overseas,before my parents made "Aliyah", and was actually 'faked'.They married in a Jewish Reform ceremony abroad. My mother was buried in a Christian cemetery abroad,having left Israel when my parents divorced.I made 'Aliyah' independently, as an adult, having been raised by my Christian grandmother abroad.

Yes, in principle ! The rabbinical court only has jurisdiction to deal with the divorce,and issues which can be 'tied' into it, such as custody,maintenance and property, where the parties as both Jews. Thus, if you can prove that your mother's conversion to Judaism was not genuine, and that she remained Christian, and, therefore, that you were born Christian, and never converted, then you can dispute its jurisdiction if your husband brings proceedings at the rabbinical court. Furthermore, your "marriage" may be void from the beginning, anyhow! You would be advised to seek individual professional advice, from a family law specialist, given the particular circumstances of your case. These need to be examined fully, so that  you can receive advice regarding strategy and tactics, when the full picture is available,and a detailed analysis can be made.

In any case, you are free to file for custody, maintenance and division of your property at the family court ,and would be recommended to do so as soon as possible, before your "husband" brings proceedings at the rabbinical court. Even when both parties are genuinely Jewish, it is usually preferable for the wife to aim to file for these before the husband brings proceedings at the rabbinical court.
