It does not matter whether the father of three children is divorced or not, he has the right to a deferment from mobilization if he has three dependent children. It may also not be his biological children.

This was stated in a comment to the TSN.ua website by lawyer Maryna Bekalo.

"For example, there are cases when a man has two children of his own from a previous marriage, he married another woman with a child who does not have a father or he does not pay alimony, which is certified by a certificate from the executive service. In this case, the person liable for military service will have a deferment, subject to confirmation of the absence of alimony debts to their own children," said Maryna Bekalo.

That is, he will be considered to support three children.
