Divorce lawyer in Lviv

We es­tab­lish whether there are chil­dren and mutual consent, review the mar­riage records and iden­ti­fy the divorce pro­ce­dure.

When to seek help

  • Your spouse dis­agrees or will not take part in the pro­ce­dure.
  • You have chil­dren and need to iden­ti­fy the ap­pro­pri­ate divorce pro­ce­dure.
  • You live sep­a­rate­ly and need to clarify doc­u­ments or your spouse’s address.

How we can help

Choose the procedure
Check whether a civil reg­istry pro­ce­dure is avail­able, in­clud­ing where both spouses agree and have no shared minor chil­dren, or whether court pro­ceed­ings are needed.
Prepare the application
Prepare an ap­pli­ca­tion or claim, iden­ti­fy at­tach­ments and check the com­pe­tent court where pro­ceed­ings are re­quired.
Address related issues
Iden­ti­fy any sep­a­rate child, support or prop­er­ty claims and how they affect the plan.

How we get started

  1. Clarify the circumstances

    Tell us about chil­dren, your spouse’s po­si­tion and any doc­u­ments re­ceived.

  2. Review the documents

    Check mar­riage records, ad­dress­es and the ap­pli­ca­tion against the se­lect­ed pro­ce­dure.

  3. Agree the filing steps

    Agree doc­u­ment prepa­ra­tion, the filing method and the as­sis­tance needed.

What to prepare

  • Mar­riage cer­tifi­cate or reg­is­tra­tion details.
  • Child doc­u­ments and the parties’ known ad­dress­es.
  • Pre­vi­ous ap­pli­ca­tions, court doc­u­ments and a list of un­re­solved issues.

Check whether a unilateral divorce claim fits

The example covers one spouse seeking only dis­so­lu­tion of a Ukrain­ian mar­riage, with no joint minor chil­dren and no joint reg­istry ap­pli­ca­tion. It is not a form for every divorce pro­ce­dure.

When this material helps

  • One claim only

    The example con­tains no prop­er­ty di­vi­sion, main­te­nance or child-res­i­dence claim. Other out­comes require a sep­a­rate as­sess­ment of relief and ev­i­dence.

  • Consent and circumstances determine the route

    A joint reg­istry ap­pli­ca­tion, a joint court ap­pli­ca­tion and one spouse’s claim are dif­fer­ent pro­ce­dures. The court in the example is not ap­pro­pri­ate merely because you are vis­it­ing this site.

  • Foreign elements and an unknown address

    A foreign mar­riage reg­is­tra­tion, res­i­dence abroad, an unknown address or a spouse’s special legal status may change the doc­u­ments and service pro­ce­dure. Do not fill gaps with guesses.

Unilateral claim without joint minor children

The worked example and blank in Ukrain­ian show a single claim. Non­func­tion­al demon­stra­tion markers are not real party or payment details.

  • Both agree and have no joint minor children

    Check the joint reg­istry route before copying a court claim.

    Compare pro­ce­dures

  • The joint registry route does not fit

    Iden­ti­fy the correct court pro­ce­dure; the ed­u­ca­tion­al claim covers only the stated narrow sce­nario.

    Check the court route

  • Child maintenance is also needed

    Con­sid­er main­te­nance sep­a­rate­ly; it does not require waiting for the divorce.

    Explore main­te­nance

  • The issue concerns marital assets

    Check ac­qui­si­tion funding and the method of di­vi­sion; divorce does not au­to­mat­i­cal­ly divide assets.

    Prop­er­ty issue

Unsure about the procedure or relief?

De­scribe any chil­dren, the other spouse’s po­si­tion and the outcome needed. A con­sul­ta­tion can define a pro­ce­dure and doc­u­ment review without adding un­nec­es­sary claims.

Frequently asked questions

Does my spouse’s refusal prevent divorce?

Refusal alone does not prevent a court divorce. Before filing, iden­ti­fy the com­pe­tent court, the claim and how the other spouse will be no­ti­fied.

Is property divided automatically on divorce?

No. Divorce itself does not al­lo­cate dis­put­ed assets. An agree­ment or sep­a­rate res­o­lu­tion of prop­er­ty claims is needed.

Can I seek help while abroad?

Yes, the initial dis­cus­sion can take place re­mote­ly. Signing, filing and rep­re­sen­ta­tion re­quire­ments depend on your lo­ca­tion and the pro­ce­dure.

What affects the cost and preparation time?

Cost and prepa­ra­tion time depend on the se­lect­ed pro­ce­dure, avail­able mar­riage and address records, and whether signing from abroad must be arranged. Sep­a­rate child, support or prop­er­ty claims should not be assumed to be in­clud­ed in prepar­ing divorce doc­u­ments.

Can I file for divorce online?

Court doc­u­ments can be filed through an elec­tron­ic cabinet with a valid elec­tron­ic sig­na­ture. We first check whether an ap­pli­ca­tion or claim is needed, the com­pe­tent court, at­tach­ments and sig­na­to­ry. Re­quest­ing a con­sul­ta­tion on this website does not file doc­u­ments with a court; remote prepa­ra­tion does not mean an au­to­mat­ic divorce or a guar­an­tee that no hear­ings will be held.
