It seems like only yesterday a child's parents loved each
other and lived together quite happily. Today they find themselves
bitterly disappointed in their relationship and want to terminate
their marriage. Cold, hard statistics show that Ukraine,
unfortunately, is now passing through an avalanche of divorces,
which arguably have the greatest impact on innocent children.
First and foremost, the divorcing spouses with children have the
right to file with the court an application for divorce together
with a written agreement, which will reflect such issues as: which
parent will live with the children, what will be the participation
of each parent in providing child's living conditions, who will
live separately, and how the parents will participate in the
child's personal upbringing (Article 109 of the Family Code of
Ukraine – "the Code").
