Divorce in Ukraine.

Comprehensive protection in separation, divorce in Ukraine.

Divorce sentence in Ukraine and registration in the country of origin.

 

 It should be noted that in Ukraine divorce is direct and without the need for the separation phase, except in exceptional cases.

Difference between separation and divorce: what the divorce law in Ukraine says.

Separation and divorce in Ukraine, legally speaking, are different in effect and duration both in Ukraine and abroad. The separation can be evaluated as a period of reflection that leads to understanding whether the marriage in Ukraine or with Ukrainian is recoverable or not, especially for the stability of the children.

During this phase the marital obligations are not considered suspended (including fidelity). In Ukraine, even if direct divorce is possible, the period of de facto separation (before appeal to the court for divorce in Ukraine), is strongly indicative for what are the subsequent rulings of the judge in Ukraine. In fact, with a de facto separation, if the spouses no longer live under the same roof in Ukraine or Italy (in the period preceding the application for divorce in Ukraine), for a period of time exceeding one year, this in the judgment does do not allow the other spouse to oppose no veto on obtaining the dissolution of the marriage (divorce in Ukraine). Otherwise, in the case of de facto separation of less than one year, the judge, at the request of a party, in the presence of minor children, can grant a reconciliation period of up to three months. This is, however, a residual and little used hypothesis in the Ukrainian legal system in terms of divorce.

The direct divorce in Ukraine, on the other hand, consists in the definitive dissolution of the marriage and can be established by the judge in any case and even if a period of separation in Ukraine or abroad has not passed.

The substantial difference between separation and divorce in Ukraine is the following: during the separation, you continue to be married and can be reconciled at any time. Divorce, on the other hand, definitively dissolves the marriage bond.

Both in separation with a Ukrainian woman and in divorce in Ukraine, the most economically disadvantaged spouse is not entitled to receive a maintenance allowance, except in very rare cases, while the economic situation for the children must remain unchanged compared to the period in which the parents were married. In this case, the non-custodial spouse must guarantee a minimum subsistence for the offspring.

Maintenance of former Ukrainian spouse and children following divorce in Ukraine.

In Ukraine there is no maintenance allowance for the former spouse in the absence of minor children. In principle, there is the juridical assumption that you can not take advantage of marriage, but must live it as equals.

Otherwise, in the presence of minor children deriving from marriage and / or recognized in the absence of marital ties, in Ukraine there is the principle of payment of a percentage ranging between 30 and 25% of your net monthly assets applies.

Types of divorce in Ukraine:

1) divorce in Ukraine by consensus before a court of Ukraine,

2) judicial divorce in Ukraine always before the territorially competent court of Ukraine,

3) divorce in Ukrainian town hall (zags in Ukraine), by agreement between the parties.

In the first two cases of ways to divorce in Ukraine, since we are talking about a formal judgment of a Ukrainian court through the divorce sentence in Ukraine, we have all the trappings of regulation (EU) no.

1215/2012. Therefore, the divorce decree in Ukraine is registered in Italy directly without exceptions and opposition by the foreign Public Administration.

With regard to the aforementioned third form of divorce in Ukraine, before the zags (civil status office of the town hall in Ukraine), the question of the validity abroad of this form of divorce in Ukraine is exposed to numerous complaints with rejections in the process of transcription and recognition.

Procedural process of divorce in Ukraine.

Divorce in Ukraine can be activated even if the separation phase has been activated or defined in the other state, for example judicial, consensual, assisted negotiation or before the registrar. In fact, it is a constant cassation that the personal separation of the spouses and the so-called divorce (in technical jargon depending on the case: dissolution or termination of the civil effects of marriage), are two different institutions of law. In fact, they regulate separate aspects of the marriage relationship, therefore they are compatible and superimposable. The first - separation - regulates the relationship in constant marriage, the

second - divorce - extinguishes it.

The divorce in Ukraine is directed and divorce decrees in Ukraine are recognized abroad as in all EU states.

Judicial path for both the consensual and judicial form of divorce in Ukraine:

1) appeal to the Ukrainian court signed by a lawyer;

2) notification to the counterparty;

3) trial before the court of Ukraine. The timing with the Ukrainian justice reform has expanded slightly,

while remaining extremely negligible.

Maintenance is not provided if the spouse is able to work. If there are children, except in special cases, the

maintenance cannot exceed 20/30% of the actual monthly working income.
