If you prove the fact of supporting 3 children, you are entitled to a deferment. Evidence of the maintenance of a non-native child will be a death certificate of his biological father, documents that the child lives with you.

In accordance with Clause 3, Part 1, Article 23 of the Law “On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization”, women and men who are dependent on three or more children under the age of 18 are entitled to a deferment, except for those who have arrears in alimony payments, the total amount of which exceeds the amount of payments for three months.
