Sigal Belenson-Shafran Law Office
When a binding marital system exists even without an official marriage, professional legal support allows the parties to ensure that their property, social, and family rights are recognized, even when there is no official marriage certificate.
Legal recognition – not just a term, but rights
Israeli courts recognize couples known to the public based on factual tests: intention to share and a real family life, running a joint household, proof of a stable and publicly recognized relationship. Recognition is required for various purposes – alimony, division of property, inheritance rights, and even receiving a survivor’s pension from the National Insurance Institute.
Forensic Evidence and Investigations – Seeking the Truth
Thanks to advances in technology, allegations of celebrity connections can be verified or disproven using forensic evidence that is virtually irrefutable. My experience as an attorney specializing in evidence and investigations allows me to present the information in the most professional, accurate, and legal manner possible, so that your rights are protected in court.
Professional, well-planned and precise representation
Accurate and sensitive legal support is the key to ensuring that the legal system recognizes your rights. Years of experience in the field of family law, a deep understanding of marital dynamics, and extensive knowledge of technological evidence, enable “outside the box” thinking and legal creativity.
Personal and professional support to ensure your rights
When it comes to recognizing celebrities, every little detail can be critical. My extensive experience in family law, combined with professional knowledge of forensic evidence and investigations, allows me to present your relationship in a reliable, accurate and fact-based manner. Collecting and cross-referencing data allows you to find the “holes” in the opposing side’s version, as well as preparing a careful investigation based on contradictions between affidavits and documents can lead you to the desired result, even if you do not have the most evidence supporting your version.
Areas of interest and specialization
Over the years of my work, I have acquired a deep interest and practical understanding of the intersections between law, emotion, and man .
My areas of interest focus on where the dry law meets the complex human reality—and on my ability to decipher what lies behind the legal conflict.
The combination of these fields allows me to bring a broad and in-depth perspective to each case , identify what is not said, and create precise and sensitive solutions – which advance the client not only legally, but also humanly
