Question

I have a question: can I sue for alimony payments in the territory of Ukraine being married to a US citizen residing in the USA? What are the chances of getting the payments? I do not want to return to the States and I do not want to live there I feel very bad there. Flying back is difficult and risky for health. I am in Ukraine now. The marriage is not dissolved.

Answer

You can recover alimony payments by a decision of a Ukrainian court concurrently with marriage dissolution. We can do it for you if you want – give us the name of the city and whether the marriage certificate is available. When and where was the marriage registered? When and where was your child born? Where in Ukraine do live at the present time?

The bill of divorce will be definitely accepted and acknowledged in the States. The decision of a Ukrainian court shall be acknowledged by a US court in order to recover alimony payments. That is why it will be better to recover alimony payments by a decision of a US court. I can help you with a choice of a lawyer commissioned in the State of Washington who will be able to recover alimony payments for you child or submit the decision of a Ukrainian court for enforcement. You will have to leave Ukraine for this purpose; you will issue a power of attorney to a lawyer and he will perform all necessary acts on your behalf.

I think you need to dissolve the marriage and recover alimony payments in order to continue living and bringing up your child worthily.
