Cross-border di­vorce and di­vi­sion of mat­ri­mo­ni­al prop­erty in war­time: A Ukrain­i­an as­sess­ment

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Kateryna Spasova ex­am­ines which private-law mech­an­isms apply to cross-border di­vorce and mat­ri­mo­ni­al prop­erty dis­putes, which have mul­ti­plied as Russia's full-scale ag­gres­sion against Ukraine forced mass mi­gra­tion and left family mem­bers living in dif­fer­ent states. The author notes that prop­erty ac­quired in dif­fer­ent jur­is­dic­tions and spouses living apart in sep­ar­ate states bring these dis­putes within private in­ter­na­tion­al law.
