If you are the collector of alimony, located abroad, and the payer of alimony is in Ukraine, then in this case you can find a lawyer in a foreign country and apply to the court. But take into account the procedural features of considering such cases in a foreign country: will it be enough for a foreign court to notify the payer of alimony by e-mail. In most states, this will not be enough, so the court can send the documents directly to the court of Ukraine, which will send them on its behalf to the defendant, that is, the alimony payer. Otherwise, the foreign court can send the documents to the justice authorities of its state, which will be obliged to forward these documents to the authorities of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, and they, in turn, to the court at the place of residence of the alimony payer.

Please note that these procedures take a lot of time in practice - from 6 months to 1.5 years.
