Get answers to the most common questions clients ask
Yes. Ukrainian law allows attorneys to file divorce petitions and represent their clients in court. The respondent (your spouse) will be notified by mail and through a public announcement on the official court website. This ensures that the process is legal and the judgment is valid.
The exact timeline depends on the court, but on average cases are resolved within 3–7 months.
No. We can sign the agreement remotely using regular post. I represent you in court as your attorney, so your personal presence is not required.
No. As a party to the case, your spouse has the right to submit documents or attend hearings, but their absence will not stop the process.
No. Ukrainian law is based on the principle that marriage is voluntary. Therefore, your spouse’s objection to divorce is not a valid reason to deny it.
No. Lack of your spouse’s identity documents will not prevent the divorce.
If the marriage was registered in Ukraine, I can request a duplicate certificate from the state registry. If the marriage was registered abroad, you will need to obtain the certificate from that country.
Yes. The divorce judgment must be apostilled (this is included in my service) and translated. I recommend arranging the translation in your country of residence.
You may choose the jurisdiction of any country of which you or your spouse is citizen. However, many clients prefer Ukraine because the legal system respects the principle of free will in marriage. This means the process is relatively fast, does not require the spouse’s consent, does not require personal attendance, and does not force the court to decide on children, alimony, or property at the same time. These matters can be resolved separately by agreement.
You only need to authorize me as your attorney by signing the agreement. I handle the entire process on your behalf.
Yes. The court will notify your spouse by sending summons to their registered address in Ukraine and/or by publishing an announcement on the official court website.
No. The claim will only briefly state the grounds for divorce and the approximate time the marriage effectively ended.
Yes. Ukrainian law allows attorneys to file divorce claims and fully represent their clients in court. The respondent (your spouse) will be duly notified of the case by postal service and public announcement on the court’s website. This ensures that the process is legally valid and the court decision is enforceable.
