New rules for children under 18 who leave the country temporarily have been implemented in Ukraine. This will make it easier for mothers with kids to go on trips to foreign destinations for the purposes of vacation or holiday. New requirements make it simpler to plan a family trip to Turkey or Thailand, popular destinations among Ukrainians.
Ukrainian mothers no longer need permits from fathers for short trips
Previously kids travelling with the mother or the father had to have a written permission to leave the country from the second parent. This is no longer necessary. One guardian can take the child overseas without a written document signed by the second parent, if they leave the country for a short period of time.
However, the new rules require the guardian to inform the second parent in writing via registered mail about the forthcoming trip and its particulars. Such information should include the purpose of the visit, the place where the child is going and for how long.
The guardian also has to provide court orders regarding residency of the child and return tickets on the border, Finance.ua reported.
The written permission is not necessary if the child is leaving Ukraine for no longer than for 1 month. Permission to leave temporarily is also unnecessary if the second parent hasn’t paid child support for 4 months. In cases where the child is seriously ill, 3-month debt of alimony allows the mother to get a waiver.
