Divorce, if one of the spouses is abroad, seems impossible. There are several ways to get a divorce during a difficult situation in the country.
A Ukrainian woman who is under temporary protection in the EU cannot divorce her husband who has remained in Ukraine. The dissolution of a marriage is carried out according to the legislation of the country of which the spouses are citizens.
However, if your husband is a foreigner, then you can get a divorce through the courts.
You also cannot get a divorce through the consulate if you are a refugee. The Consulate of Ukraine can make a divorce if citizens of Ukraine with a permanent place of residence in a foreign country apply. Divorce occurs under the same conditions as for the Civil Registry Office:
1. The spouses do not have common children who have not reached the age of majority.
2. Mutual agreement
3. Submission of a general application personally by both spouses and receipt of a certificate of divorce in person, in a month.
You can get a divorce through the Ukrainian registry office while abroad. The following documents must be submitted to the RAGS:
1. Certificate of registration of marriage (original).
2. Application from the spouses: the spouse abroad preliminarily draws up and notarizes his part of the application.
3. Passports and tax number of spouses (certified copies).
4. Receipt of payment of state duty.
To pick up a certificate of divorce, you will need to get another notarized application from a spouse abroad. The application sets out a request to register the dissolution of the marriage without the presence of one of the parties.
The procedure takes a month.
