Family disputes are based on personal non-property and property relations between spouses, parents and children, adoptive parents and adopted children, as well as other family members and relatives. Such legal relationships are regulated by the Family Code of Ukraine and other regulatory legal acts.
At the same time, the aforementioned persons can settle their legal relations with the help of an agreement, if this does not contradict the current legislation. Persons living in the same family, as well as relatives by origin, whose relations are not regulated by the Family Code of Ukraine, can settle their family (kinship) relations under an agreement, which must be concluded in writing and is binding.
Judicial practice shows that the largest number of family disputes arises about divorce, division of property, which is the common joint property of the spouses, recovery of alimony and contestation of paternity.
However, the number of conflict situations that arise between participants in family legal relations is much wider, and if it is impossible to resolve them amicably, the following disputes can be considered by the court: determining the procedure for communicating with the child, restricting or depriving of parental rights, changing the amount of alimony, determining the child’s place of residence, establishing paternity, eviction of the child, removal of the child from the registration of the place of residence, recognition of the child as having lost the right to use the living quarters, recognition of the marriage as invalid or fictitious, obtaining permission to leave a child abroad, invalidating a marriage contract, establishing custody and guardianship over children, adoption and others.
Since family disputes are a category of civil cases, they are considered by the courts in the same manner, but taking into account the norms of the Family Code of Ukraine.
