I am the father of a small child, the child is less than a month old. I am his sole guardian. The mother gave up the child. The question is, do I now qualify for mobilization, including the fact that martial law has been extended, and can I cross the border in my own car?

Accordingly, Art. 23 of the Law of Ukraine "On Mobilization Training and Mobilization", conscripts are not subject to conscription for military service during mobilization: adoptive parents, guardians, custodians, adoptive parents, foster parents who are dependent on orphans or children deprived of parental care, under the age of 18 (such persons may be called up for military service if they agree and only at their place of residence). Therefore, if there are documents confirming that you are raising a child on your own, then yes, you can go abroad.
