A man has been banned from leaving his ex-wife’s country for thousands of years following a bitter divorce.
44-year-old Noam Huppert is an Australian citizen who has been trapped in Israel since 2013, whereas he is not allowed to return home for whatever reasons he may have.
The man, who moved to Israel in 2012 to reconnect with his two children whom she has with his ex-wife, was issued a ‘stay-of-exit’ order after his former wife filed a case against him in court.
As News.com.au reported, the court ruled in the woman’s favor and ordered Huppert to settle a $2.4 million ‘future debt’ consisting of 18 years’ worth of child support payments.
It was also ruled that the father would not be allowed to exit the country under any circumstance until the debt is settled.
Speaking out about the ruling, Huppert insisted that his “literally life-threatening experience” is a result of unjust divorce laws aimed to benefit Israeli women who separate from their foreign spouses.
The country was previously called out over the controversial divorce laws in No Exit Order documentary directed by Sorin Luca.
“The ‘No Exit Order’ is practically unheard of in the Western World,” the website dedicated to the movie reads.
“A travel ban which prevents people from leaving the country. Fathers in divorce face the inevitability that they will be unable to travel without often depositing child support payments which could be as much as the whole lifetime of the child in advance.
“They are expected to provide guarantors in Israel who will vouch for any payments whilst they are outside of the country. This leaves the majority unable to leave, as few if any people will take on the debts or potential debts of another.”
Director Luca adds:
“A woman can easily put a travel ban on the father, with a demand for child support which can extend to the entire duration of the childhood.
“Once a father has the order, he can be imprisoned for up to 21 days, whether he has the ability to pay or not – without any investigation of his finances. Men are expected to pay 100 per cent or even more of their income to pay for their children.”
