Will the divorce document be valid if it does not state...?

Article 113 of the Family Code of Ukraine provides that after the dissolution of marriage, a person who changed his surname during marriage registration may continue to use this surname or return to his maiden surname.

Therefore, if the claim submitted to the court does not specify the requirements regarding the surname that one of the spouses wishes to use in the future, having changed it during the registration of the marriage, the resolution of this issue will depend on the decision made by the court.

If the issue of choosing a surname is not the subject of a court case, this will lead to the need to appeal to the court again for an additional decision.
