Enforcement support and challenges to enforcement officers’ actions or inaction.
• Applications and legal support in Ukrainian enforcement proceedings.
• Monitoring implementation of a judgment and preparing necessary requests and submissions.
• Complaints concerning unlawful actions or inaction of a state or private enforcement officer.
• The enforcement stage is agreed separately from court representation.
Time limits for presenting enforcement documents
An enforcement document can generally be presented for compulsory enforcement within three years. Certificates issued by labor-dispute commissions, and documents for which the creditor is the state or a state body, have a three-month limit. The period generally begins on the day after the judgment becomes legally effective; for an immediately enforceable judgment, on the day after it is made.
Child support and other periodic payments, including compensation for injury to health or loss of a breadwinner, may be presented throughout the period for which they were awarded.
Presenting the enforcement document interrupts the period.
In Ukraine, judgments are enforced by state or private enforcement officers (виконавці), not by the court that gave the judgment.

Before requesting enforcement assistance
Identify the court, judgment date, whether the decision is final, the enforcement document, and any correspondence with a state or private enforcement officer. Enforcement routes, deadlines and the possibility of court supervision depend on the type of judgment.
