Due to new requirements, men with many children in Ukraine must now notarize that they are actually supporting their children in order to be eligible for a deferment from mobilization.
This decision is aimed at ensuring transparency and accuracy of data regarding individuals applying for deferment from mobilization.
"A conscript and father of three minor children has been recognized as fit for military service. According to the mobilization law, he should automatically receive a deferment from mobilization. His children were born to two women with whom the man is divorced, does not live yet, but continues to financially support the children. What did the CCC come up with? They additionally require an agreement between the man and his ex-spouse stating that he participates in the maintenance of his minor children," said People's Deputy Ihor Fris.
The mention of a written agreement between parents, which must specify who the children will live with and the degree of participation of the other parent in their upbringing, is contained in Government Resolution No. 560.
Fries considers this requirement to be illegal.
"With this resolution, the government has introduced additional requirements for those liable for military service to confirm certain legal facts and documents, which is regarded as exceeding the norms and provisions of the law on mobilization," the People's Deputy stated.
