Divorce Process in Ukraine

American citizens may obtain a divorce in Ukraine if one of the parties to the divorce resides in Ukraine. The case will be heard at the local court with jurisdiction over the place of residence of one of the parties. The Ukrainian divorce process can take several weeks to several months.

The Ukrainian court will apply the laws of the jurisdiction which the court finds appropriate to the particular case in question.

Owing to the complex formal requirements of Ukrainian judicial procedure as well as to the complexities which may arise in a divorce action, it would normally be expected that the parties to a divorce action in Ukraine would engage the services of a Ukrainian attorney.

A list of local attorneys may be obtained from the U.S. Embassy, Consular Section, #6 Pymonenka Str., Kyiv, Ukraine or from our website http://kyiv.usembassy.gov.
