There are no specific parts of the court system that address domestic violence. A case will be brought first to the court of first instance, then appealed to the court of appeal and then, finally, to the Supreme Court.^[12]

There has been a case of a successful appeal to the European Court of Human Rights^[13] in relation to a domestic violence claim in Ukraine.^[14] The European Court of Human Rights ruled in this appeal that in cases of domestic violence action must be taken promptly. These measures are taken to protect the victim and must not take several years (which would be the length of court proceedings taking into account all levels of appeal).

The victim can sue/begin the following proceedings:

1. civil claim — monetary damages^[15]
2. civil claim — obtaining a restraining order^[16]
3. proceedings under Administrative Law or Criminal Code
