Why can they cancel the mobilization deferment for parents with many children?.
The expert noted that men who are raising three or more children have the right to a deferment from mobilization in accordance with paragraph 3 of part 1 of Article 23 of the law “On mobilization preparation and mobilization”.
" To do this, you need to submit an application and a package of documents confirming this right,” Slobodyanyuk said..
She explained that to obtain a deferment, a person liable for military service must provide:.
passport;
military registration document;
birth certificates of children in which he is indicated as the father;
marriage certificate or court decision on its dissolution.
The lawyer emphasized that the presence of documents on the birth of children is not always enough to decide on a postponement.
“If there is no confirmation of actual maintenance/cohabitation with children, this may influence the commission’s decision. For example, biological parents who are more than three months into child support arrears may be called upon to. Also, the deferment automatically ends if one of the children turns 18,” she said..
Slobodyanyuk added that not only the biological father of the children can apply for a deferment.
" If he adopted children, then he becomes their father and then there is no need to prove maintenance. If this does not happen, then it is worth proving the lack of maintenance on the part of the biological father. But this is also influenced by whether the stepfather has arrears in alimony, for example, in relation to children from a previous marriage,” the expert concluded.
Earlier, lawyer and master of law Evgeniy Bulimenko told what to do if the Reserve+ application does not display information about the deferment.
