| Maintenance (Alimony) - Conditions of entitlement |
 |
|
|
A woman or child who are residents of Israel, who have a court judgement for maintenance payments and are not receiving those payments from the person obligated, are entitled to maintenance payments from the National Insurance Institute, provided that they meet one of the following conditions:
|
|
The woman is married to the debtor and has a child, whether the court judgment for maintenance was granted to her, only to the child, or to both of them. |
|
|
The woman is married to the debtor but has no child, and she is not capable of supporting herself or she is age 60 or older. |
|
|
The woman is not married to the debtor and has a child, if the judgment for maintenance was granted only to the child. |
A woman who is not married to the debtor and has no child is not entitled to maintenance payments from the National Insurance Institute.
|
|
The child is not in his mother's custody, if the court judgment for maintenance was granted only to the child, and most of the child's maintenance is not provided at the expense of the state or a local authority. |
|
|
Regarding a father who has custody of his child, if the child's mother is the debtor obligated to pay the child’s maintenance, the father receives the payment for the child. |
The right to maintenance payments from the National Insurance Institute is contingent upon a income test. A woman who does not meet the requirements of the means test is not entitled to maintenance payments.
A woman or child are entitled to maintenance payments from the National Insurance Institute only if the debtor required to pay the maintenance was a resident of Israel on the date the court judgment was rendered, or was a resident of Israel for at least 24 of the 48 months that preceded the date on which the court judgment was rendered
