Notarial services in Kharkiv provide professional legal support in the execution of contracts, preparation of affidavits, and other legally significant documents in compliance with applicable law.

We provide full support at all stages:

  • Preparation of legal documents

    A lawyer analyzes the circumstances of the transaction, reviews the content of contracts, affidavits, and other documents, and prepares them in compliance with legal requirements and notarial practice to avoid legal risks and formal errors.

  • Legal assessment of violations

    A comprehensive legal assessment of the documents is conducted, taking into account their purpose, legal consequences, and, where necessary, the requirements of foreign law. The lawyer explains the terms, potential risks, and implications of signing.

  • Legal support in filing claims

    A lawyer accompanies the client during the notarization of contracts, affidavits, and other documents, coordinates interaction with the notary, and ensures the correctness of their execution.

  • Post-hearing protection of interests

    After notarization, a lawyer advises on the further use of the documents, the performance of contractual obligations, and, if necessary, provides additional legal support.

Notarial services in Kharkiv are a legally sensitive process that requires strict compliance with legal requirements, proper drafting of contracts, affidavits, and other documents, as well as a clear understanding of their legal implications. Without professional legal support, even minor errors in contractual terms, wording of statements, or confirmation of facts may result in documents being declared invalid, refusal of notarization, or subsequent legal disputes.

By engaging our law firm in Kharkiv, you receive comprehensive legal support in notarial matters at every stage. We analyze the circumstances of the transaction, review and prepare contracts, affidavits, and other documents, support the notarization process, and provide detailed explanations of the legal consequences of signing and further steps.

We have extensive practical experience in supporting notarial procedures in Kharkiv and understand how critical properly executed documents are for business, personal and family matters, property relations, and use abroad. Each case is handled individually, taking into account the specific circumstances and the client’s interests. Our goal is to ensure legal certainty, the security of transactions, and the client’s confidence in the outcome.

Our cases

Termination of parental rights

Enquiry:

His father, a businessman, did not want to be formally deprived of his parental rights and refused to pay child support. He participated in the proceedings through a solicitor and contested the claim.

What we do:

  • A series of reports were prepared and submitted to law enforcement and tax authorities to substantiate the illegal income schemes.
  • We conducted negotiations and ensured that the notarised documents were signed.
  • They drew up a legal strategy and succeeded in getting the father to admit the claim in court.

Result:

The court stripped him of his parental rights, and the child was placed in the care of a guardian who genuinely looks after her.

Case concerning the dissolution of a marriage registered in the UAE

Enquiry:

Such divorces are considered the most complex due to the possibility that the laws of a foreign country may apply, or because it may not be possible at all to hear the case in a Ukrainian court. The wife (our client) wished to divorce her foreign husband, with whom she had several children, all born and registered in various Arab countries. The marriage was registered in the UAE. Ukrainian courts require the original marriage certificate and retain it in the case file, but we did not have the original of this document. The couple had previously lived together in a foreign country, and under international law it was possible to apply the law of a foreign (Arab) state, which the husband sought to do in order to take the children.

What we do:

  • A court in Poltava refused to open proceedings due to the absence of the original marriage certificate and other objections regarding the lack of jurisdiction of the Ukrainian court over the case.
  • We filed for divorce at one of the courts in Kharkiv, having previously had two other cases on behalf of the client heard at the same court (concerning maintenance and determining the children’s place of residence with their mother) and won them.

Result:

We secured a court ruling granting a divorce without the original marriage certificate and in the absence of the respondent (the husband), obtained child support from the father, and established that the child would live with the mother.

Case concerning the termination of parental rights and adoption

Enquiry:

The client lived in a district town and sought to have the father’s parental rights terminated, as he had been absent from the child’s life for many years – he had not been in contact and had provided no support. However, the local child welfare service in that town was sympathetic to the father because they knew his family, who did not want their son to have his parental rights terminated, claiming it would be ‘a disgrace to the whole town’. The local child welfare service refused to assist, and so there was virtually no chance of winning the case in the district court.

What we do:

  • they registered the client in Kharkiv and enrolled her child in a school in Kharkiv; they brought the case before one of the courts in Kharkiv and also involved the Child Welfare Service in Kharkiv,
  • we received a favourable opinion from the Child Welfare Service regarding the appropriateness of terminating the child’s father’s parental rights, and we also obtained a court ruling in our favour,
  • The next step, also in one of the courts in Kharkiv, was the adoption of the child by the client’s husband.

Result:

The child’s ‘legal father’ was his wife’s husband, who had in fact already been fulfilling the role and duties of a father.
