Overview
When property needs to be divided
Property acquired during the marriage is presumed joint, whoever it is registered to. We identify the joint assets, protect your share and register the result, including when both spouses live abroad.
01
You are divorcing and own property in Ukraine
02
Property is registered only in your spouse's name
03
Your spouse is selling or hiding assets
04
You divorced earlier but never divided property
Your options
Three ways to divide joint property
01
Notarial agreement
Spouses agree on how to divide property and certify it with a notary.
Usually 2–4 weeks
01
Settlement in court
The court approves the spouses' agreement as a binding settlement.
Usually 2–4 months
01
Contested division
The court decides the shares when spouses cannot agree.
Usually 6–12 months
