For a Jewish person considering divorce, a civil divorce is not enough. In Jewish law, marriage and divorce laws apply to all Jews, irrespective of religious conviction. Without a Get, a Jew may not be able to remarry within the Jewish faith. It will have serious implications for both parties and their future families. It is therefore in the best interests of all concerned to obtain a Get. If you’re getting divorced Contact your local Beth Din (see below). Ask for their booklet then speak to your solicitor, as you can ask your solicitor to include a Get clause in your divorce. If you need additional information contact our Get Advisory Service at the JMC. If you’re a solicitor Insert a Get clause into the consent order for the English Courts. This will help prevent later refusals or demands in the granting of the Get by one or other of the divorcing parties. For further advice you can contact our Get Advisory Service. If a spouse says no to a religious divorce Contact the Get Advisory Service immediately so we can start negotiations without delay. The Get Advisory Service is sponsored and run by the JMC There is no charge to divorcing couples apart from a nominal registration fee. Other services are free. (Donations on successful conclusions would be appreciated). How we operate As a first step, our negotiating teams meet clients to be briefed on the situation. They then start negotiations to remove any obstruction to the receiving or giving of a Get.
We work closely with all religious courts in the UK. We are recognised by the Office of the Chief Rabbi and the Lord Chancellor’s department. We are totally independent. Our negotiators are specially selected, trained and professionally supervised. The JMC’s Legal Group draws on a wide range of legal practitioners and expertise. Useful numbers
