Divorce in Ukrainian court

The legislation of Ukraine provides an opportunity for foreign citizens to dissolve a marriage in Ukraine with a citizen of Ukraine, regardless of the place of registration of such a marriage.

In Ukraine, it is not required to prove the presence of any special reasons for divorce, such as adultery, failure to fulfill obligations under a marriage contract, etc.

Also in Ukraine, divorce is possible without any other issues, such as custody of children, maintenance of children, division of property of spouses.

A foreign citizen can get a divorce in Ukraine if the place of residence of the other spouse is officially registered in Ukraine.

A divorce case can also be considered in a Ukrainian court if the child from marriage lives in Ukraine. There are other reasons why a divorce can take place in Ukraine.

Division of spouses property

The property acquired by the spouses during the marriage belongs to the wife and husband under the right of joint co-ownership, regardless of the fact that one of them did not have independent earnings (income) for a valid reason (education, housekeeping, childcare, illness, etc.). It is considered that every thing acquired during the marriage, except for things of individual use, is the object of the right of joint joint property of the spouses.

How are disputed issues resolved during the division of property?

If the spouses do not agree on the size of their shares or the method of division of joint property, the dispute is resolved in court. When dividing the property of the court, first of all, it is necessary to determine its subject, that is, the property of the spouses, which is subject to division.
