Can I still file a man I slept with only once for child maintenance even though I knowingly did not insist on contraception because he told me quite emphatically that he was infertile?

Yes – but only will only be entitled to get child maintenance if paternity is established. If you are a single mother you can file him for paternity and child maintenance at the family court, and it will order genetic testing if he disputes he is the father. Under Israeli law the obligation of a father to support a child is absolute,no matter whether the pregnancy was unintentional or related to lies , mistakes or promises concerning fertility and contraception.
