Is it possible to change family law in an entire country? Change that results in improvements for families, and especially for children?

In today’s episode, Bill and Megan talk with family law attorney, Michal Fein, of Tel Aviv, Israel, about a law she wrote to address some problematic issues in Israel’s family law system—the Family Disputes Settlement Law. They will discuss:

• what prompted the change and why it was needed
• what the Family Disputes Settlement Law was intended to do
• whether it was met with resistance and were there implementation challenges
• data at the two-year and six-year marks—did court applications (filings) increase, decrease or stay the same
• did the new law impact domestic violence, alienation, mediation and other divorce-related challenges
• whether the pandemic impacted divorce rates in Israel
• Michal’s hope for the future of family law in Israel
