Yes, it is possible. Here are the main steps and conditions:

1. If there is a court decision in Ukraine for alimony recovery:

  • You must contact the relevant authority in the country where the debtor resides with a request to:
  • Recognize the Ukrainian court's decision.
  • Grant permission to enforce this decision.

2. If there is no Ukrainian court decision:

  • You can approach the relevant authority in the foreign country with:
  • A request to issue a decision regarding alimony recovery.

3. International agreements:

  • It is important to consider the presence of bilateral or multilateral international treaties between Ukraine and the country where the debtor resides. These treaties regulate the procedure for recognizing and enforcing alimony recovery decisions.

4. Where to apply in Ukraine:

  • If alimony needs to be collected from individuals residing abroad, you can contact the interregional department of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine at your place of residence. They will provide detailed information on the documentation requirements and submission process.
