Abstract

Ukraine is a democratic state governed by the rule of law, that is, one whose legislation should maximally respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen. In any time, and especially as difficult as now, it is important to have effective functioning of all possible ways to protect and implement these fundamental rights. It is important in our time to observe the right to a fair trial. Yes, many cases are resolved in court, but recently cases about the distribution of property have become widespread. Family law cases involve many important legal issues such as divorce, legal separation, property and debt division, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, business valuation, health and life insurance, tax implications, parenting and pensions . Problematic issues in cases about the distribution of property of spouses, acquired under the right of common co-ownership during the period of marriage, appear more and more often in modern judicial practice. Thus, a husband and wife who have expressed a desire to dissolve their marriage are not always able to voluntarily agree on the division of property on their own. Therefore, a large number of such cases are resolved in court, and quite often controversial issues arise that are not always regulated by current legislation. An interesting issue is the distribution of weapons acquired during marriage. In many of these situations, you may think that having the gun registered in your name is all that is needed to preserve ownership in a divorce. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Even if each of your firearms is registered in your name alone, this will not affect the final asset distribution decision made by the court. If the weapon was purchased during the marriage, it will be considered joint property regardless of the registration documents. Therefore, a weapon cannot be considered an object of individual use by one of the spouses, and therefore is not personal private property.
