Which court in Israel is authorised to deal with a dispute over which parent should raise the children,how often they should see the other parent, and how much maintenance they should get, where the mother and father are Roman Catholic, married, but thinking of divorce?

Parallel jurisdiction exists between the family (civil) court and the Roman Catholic Court, regarding  disputes concerning child custody and maintenance and visitation. A jurisdictional race exists - the parent who files first at a particular court causes that one to gain jurisdiction.
