Divorce mediation, as it has evolved in North America, is a relatively new development in Israel. The Israeli socio‐legal and cultural context present several obstacles along the road to cooperative settlement of divorce conflicts. This article discusses the secular and religious dual court systems, the Jewish law requiring mutual agreement to divorce, and the impact of certain inequalities of the sexes. Mediation services in the public and private sectors are described.
