About this area
Family matters rarely stay in one country
When one parent lives in Toronto and the other in Lviv, or a marriage registered in Kyiv needs to end in New York, Ukrainian family law decides much of what happens next. We represent you before Ukrainian courts, civil registry offices and child-protection authorities.
