According to Article 23 of the Law of Ukraine "On Mobilization Training and Mobilization", *conscripts, women and men who have three or more children under the age of 18 are dependent on them, except for those who have arrears for the payment of alimony, the total amount of which exceeds the amount of payments for three months.
You need to prove the fact that the children are dependent on you. Confirming documents will be: birth certificates of children, marriage certificate; a court decision on the appointment of alimony for the maintenance of the child (children) and a certificate from the executive service on the absence of arrears for the payment of alimony, the amount of such alimony, or a notarized agreement on the maintenance and determination of the place of residence of the child with you (these are supporting documents regarding the maintenance of your child from the previous marriage).
