Marriage dissolution is quite sensitive issue requiring individual approach in each single situation. In the meantime, we systematized a number of questions which we hear from every Client:

- Is it possible to dissolve a marriage without the court proceedings?
- If a couple having mutual desire to dissolve the marriage does not have children they may file an application to the State Civil Registrar (RAGS) on the marriage dissolution.
In such case the marriage may be dissolved apart from the couple’s dispute on the property division.

- And if we have a baby, but still both agree to dissolve the marriage?
- In this case the couple may file with the court a mutual application on the marriage dissolution and attach to it an agreement on the parents’ rights and alimony.

- What documents are required for the marriage dissolution in the court?
- To file a divorce petition the following documents are required:
a) copy of a passport of each spouse (national – for Ukrainian citizens, international – for foreigners);
b) marriage certificate (preferably, in original);
c) copy of a birth certificate of a child (if any).

- How long may last court proceedings on marriage dissolution?
- Unless any procedural obstacle appears, and depending on the region and availability of the particular court average period of the case consideration shall not exceed 3 months.
