Dismissal from military service for family reasons

With the outbreak of a full-scale war in Ukraine, the issue of dismissal from military service for family reasons became especially relevant. Mobilization, which covered a significant part of the male population, forced many to leave their families and go to the defense of their homeland. However, for some military personnel, family circumstances become an urgent reason to return home.

What does the procedure for dismissal from military service for family reasons look like?

• Report is the first step:

Write a report addressed to the commander of the military unit, clearly stating the reason for the dismissal and referring to the relevant articles of legislation. Add to the report documents confirming family circumstances (birth certificates, marriage certificates, certificates of health of family members, etc.).

• Review of the report:

Subsequently, your report and documents are analyzed in detail and a final decision is made. If the decision is positive, you will be released from military service within approximately 30 days.

However, it is necessary to remember certain differences in the grounds for dismissal.

The decision on dismissal is made by the commander of the military unit based on the submitted documents and report.

According to Ukrainian law, those mobilized can resign if they have three or more dependent children under the age of 18.

For contract soldiers, unfortunately, this is not a reason for dismissal from military service.

The same situation applies to grounds relating to the disability of parents or wife.

For many military personnel with parents with disabilities, the issue of leaving military service becomes urgent, because they require attention and help.

However, according to Ukrainian legislation, mobilized persons have the right to dismissal if they have parents with group I or II disabilities, while at the same time for military personnel serving under a contract, this is not a basis for dismissal from military service.

Why such difference?

This is due to different reasons for conscription:

• Mobilization:

-It is temporary.

-Called to defend the Motherland in wartime.

-Family circumstances have compelling reasons.

• Contract service:

-Voluntary act.

-Professional activity.

-Family circumstances do not call into question the execution of the contract.

Dismissal from military service for family reasons during mobilization is a complex issue that requires careful study and understanding of current legislation. It is important to know your rights and responsibilities and have all the necessary documents to take advantage of this opportunity.
