If you wish to dissolve your marriage and your spouse is against it, you can do so by filing a lawsuit with the court. According to Article 24 of the Family Code of Ukraine, marriage is based on the free consent of a woman and a man. It is not allowed to force a woman and a man into marriage. Therefore, it is up to you to decide whether you want to be married.
Of course, you can. To do this, it is enough to sign a legal aid agreement with a lawyer who will represent the Client's interests in court - your personal presence is not required at all.
The current legislation of Ukraine does not link divorce and division of marital property - these are separate independent procedures. Therefore, upon divorce, the spouses are not obliged to divide the jointly acquired property - this can be done only at the request of the spouses or one of them.
