Three legal routes
Checked on 2 September 2026 against articles 106 and 109–112 of the Family Code.
- a joint civil-registry application where there are no children and both spouses agree
- a joint court application by spouses who have children, with written child arrangements
- a claim by one spouse; the other spouse’s consent is not required to file
What remote means
- court documents may be filed through the electronic court system subject to procedural requirements
- a party may request determination in their absence or by video conference
- the court may require an original document or personal attendance
- an unknown current address requires a specific notification and venue assessment but does not automatically prevent divorce
Current changes
- the former restriction on filing during pregnancy and the first year after birth was removed from article 110 in 2024
- reconciliation measures do not apply where one spouse committed domestic violence
- as of the review date, Diia describes registration for a beta test of a separate civil-registry service, not universal public availability
The problem you need to resolve
- you prefer a remote initial assessment
- the review confirms that an online route is available
- documents can be shared securely through an approved channel
What you receive
- conflict-of-interest check
- review of the circumstances
- selection of the legal route
- document checklist
- preparation of agreed materials
- a clear next-step update
What we do
- short enquiry
- conflict-of-interest check
- clarification of the task
- agreement of the work, fees and engagement terms
- secure document exchange
- preparation and confirmation of each legally significant action
What we need from you
- a short chronology and practical objective
- details of both spouses, children and related disputes
- the marriage certificate and any existing court documents
- the parties’ locations, any open proceedings and the nearest deadline
- answers to focused questions and verification of factual information
Fees
- Written action plan for your situation: UAH 3,500.
- Standard scope: one divorce situation, one legal objective and up to 25 pages of agreed documents.
- Drafting and filing a court document, representation and related child, maintenance or property disputes are separate later stages agreed in advance.
- Court fees, translation, notarial and other third-party costs are excluded from the fixed fee and agreed separately.
What may change the route
- there is a dispute involving children, property or maintenance
- a participant is abroad or their location is unknown
- proceedings already exist or a deadline applies
- some documents are missing
- representation or another act on the client’s behalf is required
- The preparation timeline is provided once the necessary work has been assessed.
- Court or authority timing cannot be guaranteed.
When this service is not suitable
- domestic violence or another safety threat requires immediate protective action
- a separate child, maintenance or property dispute must be resolved without an additional agreed service
- the client expects a guaranteed court date or outcome
- the conflict-of-interest check prevents acceptance of the engagement
How we report progress
- we agree the communication channel before work begins
- we report receipt of materials, route selection, document readiness and the next required action
- filing dates and other legally significant actions require separate approval
- where the work changes, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for approval
