A wife who spent ten years running the household and raising children has equal rights to a flat bought \u201cwith the husband\u2019s salary\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A dispute starts with facts, not with the law. One side claims the flat was bought with money gifted by her parents, the car is transferred to a brother a week before the claim is filed, and the business is suddenly \u201cworth nothing, it is all debt\u201d. Each such claim is either disproved by evidence or it reduces your share.<\/p>\n<p>This is exactly why you need a lawyer specialising in property division: to record the assets before they start being moved out of reach, to gather evidence of where the money came from, and to take the matter to a result \u2014 through a notarised agreement while agreement is still possible, or through the courts if it is not. Svarog has handled family cases since 2014; over that time we have run 55 matrimonial property division cases.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sb-call\"><a class=\"sb-call__link\" href=\"tel:+380955545424\"><svg

We filed a claim for division together with an application for interim relief; the court seized the flat and banned registration actions, so it could not be sold during the proceedings. The car transaction was challenged as a sham, and the valuation commissioned by the other side was rejected by the court, which ordered a fresh one. The case lasted about fourteen months and ended in a settlement: the flat stayed with the former husband, while the wife received compensation of half its value based on the new valuation, plus the car. The court fee was around 12,000 UAH and the legal fee started at 25,000 UAH for full representation (details changed).<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Cost of services (lawyer specialising in property division)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"sb-price\"><div class=\"sb-price__row\"><span>Legal consultation on property division<\/span><b><i>from<\/i>1,500 UAH<\/b><\/div><div class=\"sb-price__row\"><span>Legal opinion: analysis of documents and prospects of the case<\/span><b><i>from<\/i>5,000 UAH<\/b><\/div><div class=\"sb-price__row\"><span>Negotiations, pre-litigation settlement, property division agreement<\/span><b><i>from<\/i>5,000 UAH<\/b><\/div><div class=\"sb-price__row\"><span>Preparation of a statement of claim and procedural documents<\/span><b><i>from<\/i>5,000 UAH<\/b><\/div><div class=\"sb-price__row\"><span>Participation in one court hearing<\/span><b><i>from<\/i>3,000 UAH<\/b><\/div><div class=\"sb-price__row\"><span>Court representation<\/span><b><i>from<\/i>10,000 UAH<\/b><\/div><div class=\"sb-price__row sb-price__row--hi\"><span>Comprehensive \u2018turnkey\u2019 case management<\/span><b><i>from<\/i>25,000 UAH<\/b><\/div><div class=\"sb-price__row\"><span>Support during enforcement proceedings<\/span><b><i>from<\/i>3,000 UAH<\/b><\/div><\/div>\n<p>The price depends on the number of assets, whether a business forms part of them, whether an expert examination is needed and how the other side behaves.
