How do I start off divorcing my husband? I am Jewish but my 'other half' is not. We married in a civil ceremony outside Israel.

You must file an application to dissolve your marriage at the family court. The vice-president will decide which court has jurisdiction to end your union – most probably the family court, after consulting and obtaining the legal opinions of any relevant religious courts involved (e.g. rabbinical court for you, and possibly another religious court, depending on your whether spouse's religious affiliation is recognised in Israel).
