Home » » Child Relocation

Do I have a chance of being able to return to the U.S. with my young children, following the breakdown of my marriage to an Israeli man, as all my support from family and friends is back home?

Yes ! If their father objects, you will have to apply to the family court in Israel for custody of your mutual children, and permission to relocate back to the U.S. with them. The court will make a decision, based on the child's welfare/interests, after getting the opinion and recommendation of professionals it appoints. The mother of young children, who is  not a native-Israeli, and whose support system is based abroad, has a good chance of succeeding.
