Ruling: Pl was a kablan, a worker paid for the job, regardless of time invested. If a kablan stops working in the midst of the job, he receives the smaller of: 1) the prorated amount for the work done; 2) the pay for the whole job minus replacement cost (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 333:3-4). Here, the latter would leave pl with much less than he claims. However, if the employer broke the agreement without due cause, he must pay the higher of the two amounts (Rama ad loc.).

1) Pl refused to appeal the ruling to modify the custody arrangement. Def’s response – I did not refuse, just told her she needed to give due cause for an appeal. I was fired when there was still time to appeal. Decision – Since appeal on such a small adjustment seems untenable, and the new lawyer did not appeal, we reject the claim. 2) Pl was passive in the second hearing. Response – The panel warned that the lawyers would be removed if they spoke instead of the litigants. Decision – Examination of the proceedings’ minutes showed pl spoke as much as the other lawyer. Nothing seems out of line. Claim rejected. 3) Pl did not hire an actuary to check the husband’s financial claims. Response – Having a client pay for an actuary is worthwhile only when serious problems arise, which had not happened as of the firing. Ruling – No proof of negligence. 4) Def was not awarded child support; Response – Child support was set to be determined later, and could be retroactive. In the meantime, def received full government child allocation. Ruling – People can disagree about pl’s achievement, but there is no sign of negligence.
In summary, we find insufficient grounds for the firing.
We continue next time to determine how much pay pl deserves.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
