Trust and professionalism in matters concerning your family.
I prepare the claim, arrange and oversee DNA testing, secure removal of the paternity record, and handle the resulting changes in the registers.
I help people defend their rights in courts across Ukraine. I work honestly: I explain the case's prospects and the full cost before starting any work.
The exact cost of handling your case can only be determined after a consultation.
The client was registered as the father at the child's birth; doubts later arose, and a preliminary out-of-court DNA test ruled out a match.
A forensic genetic examination was arranged, medical evidence and witnesses were gathered, and a claim to remove the paternity record was prepared and filed.
The court granted the claim based on the examination — the paternity record was removed, and court costs were awarded in the claimant's favour.
Case in the register ↗The client was registered as the father of two children; private DNA tests showed no match, raising the issue of wrongfully collected child support.
A claim was prepared with the DNA results and motions for a court-ordered examination; the court order for child support collection was appealed.
The court removed the paternity record and cancelled the child support order; part of the amounts paid and the court fee were reimbursed.
Case in the register ↗The claimant maintained he was not the biological father; the case required a molecular-genetic examination.
A comprehensive molecular-genetic examination was arranged, official sample collection was secured, motions were filed, and the client's interests were defended.
By court ruling, paternity was excluded; the court fee was recovered from the defendant.
Case in the register ↗You submit a request through the website form or a messenger, or call me directly.
At the consultation you describe your situation, I review the materials, form a position, and advise on the next steps.
We sign a legal services agreement — and get to work.
Answer. If there is a minor child, the divorce is processed through the court. Property division can be filed separately — within the 3-year limitation period from when you learned that your property right was violated.
Answer. The child's place of residence is determined by agreement between the parents (taking into account the child's opinion from age 10; from age 14 the child decides for themselves). If there is no agreement, the court decides. Deprivation of parental rights is an extreme measure, considered by the court on a case-by-case basis.
Answer. If there are no minor children and both spouses agree, you can register the divorce at the civil registry office (DRACS) and divide the property at a notary. Without agreement, or if there is a child, these matters are decided in court — here it is better to consult an attorney.
Answer. It is possible to get divorced through a court in Ukraine or in the country where the husband lives. If he had a registered place of residence or property in Ukraine, the claim is filed there. Otherwise, it is filed at the defendant's place of residence.
Answer. Yes, child support (alimony) for a child is paid until age 18, and spousal maintenance until the child turns 3. The procedure is judicial (a court order or a court judgment), after which enforcement proceedings are opened for compulsory collection.
Answer. At the first consultation (up to 20 minutes) we will go through your situation in detail. I will review the documents, honestly assess the case's prospects, and suggest a concrete step-by-step plan of action. You will get clarity, even if you decide not to continue working with me.
Answer. The first consultation is free. The cost of further services depends on how complex the case is. I always state the full, transparent cost before starting any work. No hidden fees.
Answer. No professional attorney can promise a 100% win, since the decision is made by the court. What I do promise is a thorough analysis of the case, my full effort, complete confidentiality, and the use of all my experience to protect your interests.
Answer. Completely. Everything you discuss with me is protected by attorney–client privilege from the first second of our conversation — even during the free consultation. This is an inviolable rule of the profession.

Contesting paternity is a complex legal procedure that requires strict compliance with the law and a solid body of evidence. I provide qualified legal assistance in cases seeking to establish that a man is not the biological father of a child. Such disputes are heard exclusively by a court.
Clients come to me when they have grounds to believe that the man legally registered as the father is not the biological father, or when they were mistakenly registered as the father without their own consent. The only legal route is a court claim contesting paternity and removing the record from the civil status record.
The law limits the time for filing the claim (generally 1 year from when the person learned that he is not the father). I will help assess your chances, meet the deadlines, and avoid mistakes. If you need a paternity lawyer in Kyiv, get in touch.
