HOW TO RESIGN FROM THE ARMY DUE TO FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES

Ukraine is actively fighting for its territorial integrity and independence. In connection with this, martial law was maintained in the country and mobilization was announced, during which some citizens were called up for military service.

After entering the military service, a citizen is obliged to fulfill his duties in full, however, in exceptional cases, the possibility of exemption from military service may be provided.

Ukraine, like most countries of the world, determines by law the grounds for dismissal from military service due to family circumstances. However, it should be emphasized that the grounds for dismissal during the period of martial law are slightly different for persons undergoing military service, mobilized, and persons serving under a contract.

In this article, we will talk about common reasons for leaving the army.

If a serviceman is raising a child with a disability or a child who is in a state of serious illness, he can submit a report for dismissal from military service due to family circumstances.

Also, grounds for dismissal from military service due to family circumstances in Ukraine include the presence of a person who needs constant care or guardianship. If there is a person in the family who needs care and who needs to be looked after on a permanent basis, then the serviceman has the right to submit a report for discharge from military service in order to be able to provide the necessary care for this person.

Given the fact that, due to life circumstances, there are situations when a child remains with one of the parents, it is necessary to raise, look after, take care of him, that is, to be physically close to him, the next reason is the independent upbringing of the child (children) under the age of 18, which is confirmed by a relevant court decision to deprive the mother of parental rights or a court decision to recognize the mother as missing or to declare the mother dead.

At the same time, if one of the spouses, both of whom are in military service, has a child (children) under the age of 18, exemption from service is also possible.

Together with the report, the serviceman must submit all documents that confirm his family circumstances.

Given the circumstances, such documents may be:

• birth certificates of children,
• certificate of a large family,
• documents confirming the child's disability,
• medical certificates on the state of health of sick family members who need constant care,
• court decision on recognition by the court of incapacity and appointment of a guardian of a serviceman,
• court decision to deprive the mother (father) of parental rights,
• medical certificates confirming the pregnancy of a female serviceman, or the need for her to take care of the child until reaching the appropriate age in accordance with the law.

After receiving the report and documents, the submitted information is checked. In the case of a positive decision, the serviceman receives a corresponding order on dismissal from military service.
