For eight months of 2025, Ukrainian courts issued 12,714 orders to collect alimony. This is 6% less than in the same period last year, and 28% less than in 2021. reports this Opendatabot.
According to the analytics, from 2021 to August 2025, courts made 99,909 such decisions. The most — in 2021, when 27,251 orders were recorded. Already in 2024, their number has decreased by a quarter — to 20,504.
In 2025, the courts of the Dnipropetrovsk region issued the most orders for the collection of alimony — 1,654 decisions, which is 13% of the all-Ukrainian figure. This is followed by Odesa Oblast — 948 (8%), Kharkiv Oblast — 837 (7%), Kyiv Oblast — 810 (6%) and Lviv Oblast — 772 (6%). In total, these five regions account for almost 40% of all court orders in the country, the report says.
We are talking about the number of court orders passed, and not about their execution or the actual payment of funds — that is, only about those cases when the court has already issued a document with which you can apply to the enforcement service.
“The main advantage of injunctive proceedings is its efficiency: you quickly receive a court decision, which is also an executive document – the law allows 5 days for this, and you can present it for execution. On the other hand, a trial in a lawsuit can take from several weeks to several months. At the same time, the main drawback of this method of collecting alimony is that the amount of alimony in the order procedure is strictly limited by law,” explained judge Petro Tyshkun.
