Family and inheritance disputes

Family lawyer in Poltava: divorce, maintenance, inheritance

Family disputes are rarely only legal — which is exactly why they need a cool head on the lawyer's side. We handle divorce, division of property, maintenance and child cases, and inheritance disputes. Separately, cases where one spouse is abroad: there have been many since 2022, and they have their own rules.

What we do

  • Divorce — through the civil registry office or the court, including when one spouse is abroad.
  • Division of marital property — a division agreement or a claim, proving personal property, limitation periods.
  • Maintenance — recovery, changing the amount, arrears.
  • Children — the child's place of residence, contact arrangements, deprivation of parental rights.
  • Inheritance — registration, disputes, invalidating a will, dividing the estate.
  • Recognition of foreign judgments — so that a divorce obtained abroad also takes effect in Ukraine.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get divorced without coming to Ukraine?

Yes. With no children and mutual consent — through the civil registry office or a consulate with a notarised application. With children or without consent — through the court, but you can take part through a representative under a power of attorney or by video link.

How long do I have to divide property after a divorce?

The limitation period is three years, but it runs not from the divorce but from the day you learned your right to the joint property was violated. As long as your share is not disputed, the clock does not run.

Do I have to go to court over an inheritance?

No. If the heirs agree, a notary registers the inheritance. A court is needed when the time limit to accept the inheritance was missed, the heirs are in dispute, or the validity of a will is in doubt.
