Persons sentenced to imprisonment may initiate the issue of dissolution of their marriage according to the following procedures:
Divorce the marriage in the state registration bodies of civil status acts by mutual consent of the other spouse, and in the absence of joint children;
In court proceedings (in particular, in separate proceedings at the request of one of the spouses).
Dissolve the marriage in the state registry of civil status acts by mutual consent of the other spouse and in the absence of joint children.
The Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine does not establish requirements for the jurisdiction of divorce cases upon the application of any of the spouses in court, if one of them is sentenced to imprisonment, therefore, the general rules of jurisdiction provided for in Articles 27, 28 of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine apply to this category of cases.
