The Firm Reflected in the Media
“Mum will pay more than Dad:” In an exceptional
ruling by the Ramat Gan Family Affairs Court, very
low child support payments were handed down to
a husband on the grounds that the wife’s income
was higher than the husband and she owns the
apartment. Judge YehoramShaked decided that for
essential and household needs, the husband will
pay only NIS 2,600 per month for his two children
to the age of just 15. For the remaining expenses,
(extra-curricular activities, healthcare, culture,
entertainment and private lessons), the husband
will pay one third and the wife two thirds, and not
half as is usual. The judge accepted the claims
of the husband and his attorneys Dr. Yair Shiber
and Doron Shiber who asked that lower support
be set for the husband. Judge Shaked ruled that
the fact that the wife owned the apartment was a
tie-breaker with the husband and clearly indicated
that her economic position was better than the
father. (Yedioth Ahronoth).
Bereaved Parents Ask: “Bring a grandchild from
the son that died”: Captain Omri Shachar, an out-
standing naval officer was killed a year ago in a
road accident and his parents are now asking to
allow them to bring a grandchild into the world
from the sperm of their son. Before their son was
buried, the court acceded to the parents request
to keep some sperm from his body. The parents’
attorneys Yair Shiber, Doron Shiber and Avidan
Glovinsky claim that the son’s sperm is part of his
estate and his parents are the heirs. The attorneys
also claim that the desire for continuity is a basic
desire and providing offspring to a person even
after death is consistent with his desire as long as
there is no indication that he opposed such a thing.
“As far as is known to us, this is the first time that
parents have asked to bring a child into the world
from the sperm of their dead son,” said Dr. Yair
Shiber. “A couple in the State of Israel can receive
a donation of eggs, receive sperm and receive a
surrogate mother. But if two of the three sides are
missing, as in this instance, there are no legal ar-
rangements. A widow can receive sperm from her
late husband because she is the mother and only
sperm is missing. The sperm can also be given to
another mother or surrogate mother but in this
situation – when people are coming only with the
sperm of their son, without eggs and without a
mother to give birth, it is still impossible and over
this we are struggling.” The court passed the case
onto the Attorney General and Welfare Services
Legal Advisor for an opinion. (Yedioth Ahronoth).
