Adv. Miri Dede

Adv. Miri Dede, holding a Master of Laws (LL.M) degree from Bar-Ilan University, has specialized in family law. The law office of Adv. Miri Dede has been established for over 17 years.

Specialization in family law requires staying updated on evolving rulings and decisions of the civil and rabbinical courts, which change frequently, and keeping abreast of new judgments related to the various contentious issues between parties (some of which also concern common-law partners).

Among these areas: property division, custody, alimony, changes in alimony amounts, rabbinical court rulings, ketubah for the woman, and compensation for the destruction of family life.

Frequent appearances and case management in rabbinical courts have enhanced Adv. Miri Dede's specialization in proceedings and conduct in rabbinical courts, understanding and learning the mindset of the rabbinical courts, and examining the considerations weighed before various divorce judgments are given, such as recommendation, requirement, and coercion.

An in-depth study and understanding of prevailing halacha in rabbinical courts have led to the development of the best strategy for the client, according to their personal circumstances and the circumstances of their case. This is relevant to claims for ketubah payment and compensation for the destruction of family life, grounds for divorce, and grounds that negate ketubah and spousal alimony.

Additional areas in family law:

• Drafting divorce and financial agreements
• Wills
• Dissolution of marriage
• Handling requests for the appointment of a guardian for the body and property
• Age change claims, a process conducted in family courts where the opposing party is the Attorney General, represented by the district attorney's office where the case was filed.

The office is committed to providing immediate service and responses to clients, even beyond regular working hours. In our view, a client in distress due to a legal process is confused and lacks the ability to make informed decisions. Therefore, Adv. Miri Dede is available to her clients and provides quick and efficient responses to any matter related to the office.
