How many children should you have to avoid being taken to war?

In times of war or military conflict, the issues of mobilization and conscription become relevant and arouse considerable interest among the population. This is especially true for those who have families and children, as they seek to ensure maximum security and stability for their loved ones. In Ukraine, the current legislation provides for certain social guarantees for large families, which may exempt men from military service. There is a possibility of deferral from mobilization for parents with many children, which allows for social protection of their families.

If you have three or more children, you are entitled to a deferment from conscription, and for this purpose you need to apply to the TCC and JV with the relevant documents.

Postponement of mobilization for parents with many children

According to Ukrainian law, men with three or more children are entitled to a deferral from mobilization. This right is enshrined in Article 23 of the Law of Ukraine «On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization». The postponement is provided to ensure social protection of large families, as the maintenance and upbringing of three or more children requires significant efforts and resources.

Requirements for obtaining a deferral for a father with many children

In order to receive a deferment from mobilization, a man must be the biological father or legal adoptive father of three or more children. The fact of taking care of other people's children, such as children of relatives or guardianship, does not entitle a person to a deferment. This is an important point to consider when submitting documents to the TCC and JV, as these changes are more detailed in the newly adopted resolution.

The procedure for obtaining a deferral

In order to exercise the right to defer mobilization, a father with many children must apply to the TCC and JV at the place of registration and submit the relevant documents. These documents include:

• Application for deferment.
• Passport and individual tax number.
• Copies of birth certificates of all children.
• Other documents that can confirm the status of a large family.

After submitting the documents, the TCC and JV considers them and makes a decision on granting a deferment from mobilization.
