Family law in Israel, fully in English

You don't have to navigate the Israeli legal system alone.

Going through a divorce or family dispute in Israel means facing courts, procedures and documents in a language you may not fully understand, and in a system that works differently from what you know. I guide English-speaking clients through every step, explaining what is happening, what comes next and what each decision means for you and your family.

How I can help

I represent English-speaking individuals and couples living in Israel in divorce, agreements, wills and inheritance. Every step of the Israeli legal process, every document and every decision is explained to you in clear English.

Divorce, Custody and Relocation

Divorce touches the most sensitive parts of life: children, family, property and financial future. I represent clients at every stage, in family court and in rabbinical court, including parental responsibility, parenting time, child support and division of assets, also when assets are held abroad. I also handle relocation cases, when a parent wishes to move abroad with the children. Every case is guided by careful planning and a clear goal: an agreement whenever possible, and a determined legal fight when necessary.

Wills and Inheritance

A will lets you express your wishes clearly, protect your family and reduce the risk of future disputes. I prepare wills and handle inheritance proceedings with legal precision, long-term thinking and attention to each family's structure.

Prenuptial and Cohabitation Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is not a sign of mistrust. It is a way to create certainty and prevent future disputes. I draft tailored agreements that let couples begin their life together with trust, balance and mutual respect.

Family Law Representation in English

Navigating divorce or a family dispute in a foreign legal system involves more than overcoming a language barrier. Differences in culture, mentality, communication, and expectations can significantly affect the dynamics of the case and the decisions made along the way.

I provide English-speaking clients and international couples with clear, strategic, and personal legal representation, grounded in an understanding of these complexities. All meetings, consultations, correspondence, and updates are conducted fully in English, ensuring that every client feels understood, informed, and confidently represented.

About

Attorney Lihai Gozlan, Family and Inheritance Law

In family law, knowing the next step is not enough. You need to know where you want to end up.

A family proceeding is much more than a legal process. It is a turning point that affects the family, the children, financial stability and the entire future.

When the ground shifts beneath your feet, you need someone at your side who sees the bigger picture, thinks several steps ahead and builds a legal strategy that serves not only the proceeding, but the life that comes after it.

I gained my professional experience at one of Israel's leading family law firms, where I handled complex divorce cases and family disputes, including parental responsibility and parenting time, child support, property and division of assets. I appeared in court, led sensitive negotiations and handled high-profile cases.

I have experience representing clients whose first language is not Hebrew, including English-speaking clients and international couples. I understand the specific complexities these cases involve: assets and family ties abroad, questions of relocation, cultural differences, and a legal system that works very differently from the one they know. Above all, I know how much it matters to fully understand what is happening in your own case, in your own language.

Before practicing law, I worked in media and public relations. That experience sharpened my ability to read sensitive situations, communicate with precision, identify interests and stay clear-headed under pressure.

A lawyer's role goes beyond legal representation. It means understanding the person behind the case, identifying their true goals and building the right path to reach them. That is why every case I take on begins with listening. From there, I build a precise strategy tailored to each client: reaching agreements when they serve your goals, and leading a determined legal fight when it is needed to protect your rights.

I believe that even out of crisis, it is possible to grow.

This is not only my worldview, it is the way I represent my clients: with professionalism, determination, sensitivity and full commitment, so they can open the next chapter of their lives with confidence, stability and hope.

How I Work

In family proceedings, the way a case is managed matters as much as the outcome.

01

Listening first

Every case begins with listening, mapping the facts and understanding your needs, sensitivities and goals.

02

Strategy before action

Before taking any legal step, we consider how it will affect the rest of the process and whether it moves you toward the outcome you want.

03

Clear communication, full transparency

You will always understand your options, the risks and what each decision means, so you can make it with knowledge and confidence.

04

Determination with sound judgment

When a legal fight is needed, it will be conducted with strength and determination. When a better outcome can be reached by agreement, we will recognize it and act on it.

05

Looking beyond the proceeding

Decisions made today affect your family, your children and your financial stability for years to come. Every step is weighed with the long term in mind.
