I. Divon, "The Obligation of Child-Support in Adoption"
(Heb.), Diné Israel 9 (1978-1980), 183-204. - Adoption
in the sense that it is understood in Israeli law is not recognized by the
halakhah. In terms of an obligation to support the adopted child,
however, it would appear that the concept does exist in Jewish law. According
to Divon, there is firm halakhic basis for transferring property in order
to ground an obligation to support a child in circumstances similar to those
of adoption, and adopting parents ought to sign a written obligation to
undertake such support in accordance with the provisions of Israeli law.

M. Shawa, "Maintenance of Minor Children in Jewish and Israeli
Law" (Heb.), Tel-Aviv University Law Review 7 (1980), 316-344;
583-617. - Under s.3 of the Family Law (Maintenance) Amendment Law
5729-1959, the maintenance of all minor children is governed by the personal
law of the party concerned. In the case of Jews resident in Israel, the
relevant law is Jewish law. Shawa discusses the father's obligation to maintain
his children until the age of fifteen, and the obligation to maintain under
the laws of tsedakah (charity). The origin of these obligations,
their substance and their scope in the halakhah are examined in the
course of the article, and comparisons are drawn with Israeli law. (Y.S.K.)
