Cases I Have Won

Case №646/9036/24

Deprivation of parental rights and recovery of penalty for unpaid child support

Client's problem

For more than 15 years, the father had no contact with his son, did not raise or support him; child support arrears exceeded 228 thousand UAH. He did not appear in court.

I prepared a claim for deprivation of parental rights and recovery of the penalty, obtained an opinion from the guardianship authority, and gathered certificates from the child's school, clinic, and the enforcement service. The case was heard in absentia.

Result

The court deprived the defendant of parental rights and ordered recovery of the penalty for unpaid child support.

Case №644/9651/21

Deprivation of parental rights and recovery of additional expenses

Client's problem

The client sought to deprive the father of parental rights and had no information on the status of the enforcement proceedings.

I expedited action against the debtor, obtained a debt calculation, gathered evidence of the father's lack of involvement in raising the child and of the mother's additional expenses, and filed the claim.

Result

The court deprived the father of parental rights and awarded additional expenses for the child.

Case №645/2309/24

Deprivation of the biological father's parental rights

Client's problem

For more than 9 years, the father took no part in raising the child, did not support him, and had no contact with him.

I gathered evidence, obtained an opinion from the guardianship authority, and attached certificates from the school and medical institutions; the case was heard in absentia.

Result

The court fully granted the claim — protecting the interests of the child and the mother.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Answer. Click the "Free consultation" button on the website or call me. We will pick a convenient time, you will briefly describe the problem, and we will start solving it.

Child support recovery is one of the most common categories of family disputes, and it requires strict compliance with procedural rules. I provide legal assistance in cases concerning the amount and terms of child support payments, as well as recovery of arrears — in Kyiv and remotely throughout Ukraine, from preparing documents to the actual receipt of funds.

A claim for child support (alimony) can be filed both during the marriage and after its dissolution, regardless of whether the parents live together or separately. Child support (alimony) is awarded as a fixed monthly sum or as a share of the payer's income; recovery of additional expenses for the child's treatment, education, or development is also possible.

Documents needed to recover child support

  • Claimant's passport and taxpayer ID (RNOKPP);
  • Child's birth certificate;
  • Certificate of the child's place of residence;
  • Evidence of the defendant's income (if available);
  • Other documents confirming expenses on the child.

In difficult cases, where the payer evades their obligations, it is possible to initiate seizure of assets, a travel ban, or a driving ban. If you need a child support lawyer in Kyiv, get in touch.
