New Jersey has no jurisdiction over a resident’s suit against an Israeli law firm or two of its lawyers he claims helped his estranged wife pursue a divorce case in that country and kept him from seeing his daughter, both in violation of a judge’s order here.

Sharon Ben-Haim, of Fair Lawn, alleges that the wife’s lawyers—Tal Itkin and Miki Mor of the Itkin Law firm in Haifa—defamed him and caused him emotional distress by claims they made in Israel’s civil and religious courts.
