Ukrainian-law assistance with divorce, adoption, child support, parenting disputes, parental rights, and division of marital property.
Family Law Matters in Ukraine
Family law issues may involve divorce, child support, parenting arrangements, a child's place of residence, adoption, or division of marital property. I offer consultations under Ukrainian law, review documents, prepare applications and court filings, and provide legal assistance within the scope of an individually agreed engagement.
Divorce under Ukrainian law
Depending on the circumstances, a marriage may be dissolved through the Ukrainian civil status registration authority or a court. The appropriate procedure depends, among other things, on whether the spouses have children and whether they agree. Services may include an initial legal assessment and preparation of applications and court documents, including cases where one spouse lives abroad.
Child support
Assessment of claims for child support, modification of support, arrears, and related procedural documents. The appropriate approach depends on the facts and available evidence.
Disputes involving children
Assistance concerning a child's place of residence, parenting responsibilities, arrangements for contact, and compliance with agreements or court decisions. The child's rights and best interests, age, and other legally relevant circumstances are central to the assessment.
Termination and restoration of parental rights
Consultations, assessment of legal grounds, evidence review, and preparation of procedural documents in matters involving termination or restoration of parental rights under Ukrainian law. The procedure and scope of representation are determined for each case.
Division of marital property
Review of the legal status of marital and separate property, real estate records, other assets, and related obligations. The documents required and proposed legal approach depend on the circumstances.
Adoption in Ukraine
I provide consultations, document preparation and review, and Ukrainian-law assistance concerning adoption within the scope of an agreed engagement. Adoption is subject to a court decision, statutory requirements, and consideration of the child's best interests. Under Article 223 of the Family Code of Ukraine, a prospective adoptive parent must file the adoption application with the court personally; filing through a representative is not permitted. Cases involving a foreign element require a separate assessment of the applicable procedure and restrictions.
Clients living outside Ukraine
An initial consultation and document review concerning Ukrainian law may be conducted remotely. The availability of representation, rules for signing and submitting documents, and any requirement of personal participation depend on the specific proceedings. These services do not include representation under foreign law; local counsel may be needed.
How to request assistance
Briefly describe your legal issue, where the parties and children live, whether proceedings are pending, and what documents are available. The scope of work, acceptance of the matter, and procedural steps are agreed following an initial assessment. No case outcome is guaranteed.
Initial Ukrainian-law consultation: 2,000 UAH / 30 minutes (includes review of up to 6 pages of documents supplied in advance). Other work: scope, availability, fee and timeline agreed individually before engagement. Court, notarial, registry and third-party charges are separate. Contact: lyubahk@gmail.com.
