Almost half of divorces occur in five regions
In the first half of 2025, Ukrainians dissolved at least 38,700 marriages in courts — three times more than in civil registry offices (12,700). Almost half of divorces occur in five regions. The lowest divorce rate is in the west of the country.
Ukrainians dissolved at least 38,671 marriages in courts in the first half of 2025, according to the Babusya court decision search engine. The Dnipropetrovsk region became the absolute leader in the number of dissolved marriages in Ukraine this year. In six months, 5,188 couples divorced here, accounting for 13% of all court decisions found using the Babusya court registry search engine.
The capital ranks second: 3,544 divorce decisions (9%) were recorded in Kyiv. Third place goes to the Odesa region with 3,121 cases (8%).
In total, 45% of all divorces are concentrated in five regions: Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Kharkiv, Kyiv regions, and Kyiv itself.
In the west of the country, the divorce rate is traditionally low. In the Zakarpattia region, courts considered 777 cases, and in the Volyn region, 829. These are among the lowest rates in Ukraine, excluding regions affected by hostilities.
During the same period, 12,691 marriages were dissolved in civil registry offices, three times less than in courts. It is worth noting that the same regions are in the lead, with only minor changes: the capital ranks first with 1,780 divorces, followed by the Dnipropetrovsk region with 1,252, and the Kharkiv region closes the top three with 889.
Apart from the frontline and partially occupied regions, the lowest number of divorces in civil registry offices was again in Zakarpattia — 171 cases, followed by Chernivtsi (239) and Ternopil (247) regions.
It should be noted that divorce at a civil registry office is possible if the spouses have no joint property or disputes over its division, and no minor children.
