Facts

H and W were married in 1983 in Israel and have one child. W filed a complaint to dissolve the marriage. H answered the complaint and does not want a divorce. The parties engaged in a settlement conference, but the issues were not resolved as H refused to give W a 'get.' As such, H refused to consent to a Jewish divorce. H's counsel, who was an Orthodox Jew, filed a motion to be relieved as counsel because of his religious convictions; but that was denied as H consented to following the recommendation of the Beth Din and give the 'get' if that was the end result of those proceedings. W refused to settle without the 'get.' The trial court addressed the issues of its ability to grant the divorce without the obtaining of the 'get.'
