Man claimed ex-wife demands 10 thousand for meetings with daughter, woman alleges child abduction: what the court decided
The Solomyanskyi District Court of Kyiv considered the defendant's application to cancel the interim measures taken by the court order dated August 29, 2025, in the case regarding the claim for alimony for child support, determination of the children's place of residence, and the manner of the father's participation in raising the children, as well as the counterclaim.
Circumstances of case No. 760/19161/25
There is an ongoing dispute between the parties regarding alimony collection, determination of the children's place of residence, and the manner of the father's participation in their upbringing.
By the order of the Solomyanskyi District Court of Kyiv dated August 29, 2025, issued upon the defendant's application, the father was granted time to communicate with the children via telephone and video conference every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, including with the daughter — in the presence of the mother.
The defendant (father) filed an application to cancel these measures. He stated that the ex-wife systematically obstructed communication with the children, demanded money for the opportunity to meet, and limited communication. In particular, the last time she demanded 10,000 hryvnias for the opportunity to spend time with the daughter. After transferring the money and the father's trip with the daughter for vacation on October 6, 2025, the mother contacted the police with a statement alleging that the father had allegedly abducted the child. Following the statement, the police entered information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations and opened criminal proceedings No. 12025100010002851 dated October 7, 2025, under Part Two of Article 146 and Part One of Article 382 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The father also noted that since October 6, 2025, the daughter has been living with him permanently by her own will, supported by psychological examination reports. Additionally, he stated that communication with the son in the presence of the mother is ineffective because the mother constantly interferes in the conversation, interrupts, turns the child against him, and commits psychological abuse, which leads to the child's alienation from the father.
What the court decided
The court partially satisfied the application.
The interim measures regarding the time for the father's communication with the daughter via telephone and video conference every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the presence of the mother were canceled.
The court refused as for the other part of the application concerning the cancellation of interim measures regarding communication with the son in the presence of the mother.
The order may be appealed directly to the Kyiv Court of Appeal within fifteen days from the date of its announcement.
