Marriage contract is a legal document entered into by prospective spouses for the purpose of determining the rights and obligations of each partner in marriage. In Ukraine, it is regulated by civil legislation and may be contested under certain conditions.
Challenging a marriage contract can be based on the following grounds:
1. If the conclusion of the contract was contradictory or made under the influence of deception, threats, or coercion, it may be contested. Also, if one of the spouses was not fully informed about the content of the contract before its conclusion, this may also be a basis for contestation.
2. If the marriage contract contains provisions that contradict applicable law, such a contract may be deemed invalid.
3. If new circumstances arise after the conclusion of the contract that significantly affect the performance of the contract but were not foreseen at the time of its conclusion, this may be a basis for its contestation.
The procedure for contestation involves the following steps:
Contesting a marriage contract begins with filing a claim with the court. The claim must clearly state the grounds on which you consider the contract invalid and indicate the necessary evidence.
The court will consider the claim and the documents submitted by the parties. If necessary, the court may appoint an expert examination or additional evidence to resolve the case.
After reviewing the case, the court will make a decision on the contestation or refusal thereof. In case of a positive decision, the contract may be declared invalid or partially invalid. Contesting a marriage contract is a serious legal process that requires qualified legal assistance. The claim for contestation requires a clear presentation of facts and justification of the grounds for the contract's invalidity. Filing a claim for contestation has certain deadlines and procedural requirements that must be followed.
Contesting a marriage contract is a complex and sensitive process that may require professional legal assistance and emotional support. Turning to qualified lawyers and psychologists can help you understand your rights, prepare an effective strategy, and support you during this process.
