| Who is Entitled to Alimony Payment | |
|
| A woman who is a resident of Israel and possesses a judgement for alimony and does not take steps to execute payment, on condition that the person obligated was a resident of Israel at the time that the verdict was given or for 24 out of the 48 months prior to the verdict date and that she does not live with him. | |
| A child in whose favor a maintenance verdict was passed down and he/she is not in his/her other parent’s custody. | |

| Alimony Payment | |
The sum of alimony is the sum determined by the court verdict or by the National Insurance Institute regulations – the lower of the two. The NII pays a monthly payment to the woman entitled and pursues execution proceedings against the obligated party to obtain implementation of the judgement for alimony in full. If the Institute succeeds in collecting the full alimony sum from the person obligated to pay and this sum is greater than the sum paid by the Institute, those entitled to the alimony receive the difference between these two sums. |
