This book examines Israeli family law in comparison with the corresponding law in the United States and illuminates common issues in legal systems worldwide.

This book seeks to clarify that tension and offer solutions. The comprehensive analysis in this book may serve as a guide for those interested in family law: civil court judges, rabbinical court judges, lawyers, mediators, arbitrators, and families themselves.
