The interplay between Jewish law as implemented by the Beth Din (rabbinical court) and secular law is a fascinating topic of study. This CLE course will explain the unique features of a Jewish divorce, the requirements of the ketuba (Jewish marriage agreement document) as well as its financial ramifications and the process of marriage dissolution through a Get (writ of divorce). The presentation will explain the requirements for divorce under Jewish law, including mutual participation of both parties, and the issues involved when one party withholds or uses the get as a means of negotiation. The course will also explain the more modern incarnation of the Jewish pre-nuptial agreement in mediating these issues. The actual implication of the ketuba and recent advancements in the pre-nuptial agreements will be presented with an insider’s perspective through the lens of one of the committee members who enacted the new agreement.
