Accused of corruption, Poltava councilor Serhiy Bylashov is dissolving his marriage to his wife Liliyana Bylashova through the courts after 38 years.
The court on 21 August 2026 granted the claim of Serhiy Volodymyrovych Bylashov and dissolved his marriage to Liliyana Ivanivna Bylashova. The marriage was registered on 25 June 1988 at the Shevchenkivskyi registry office of Poltava, record no. 1232. After the divorce both will keep the surname Bylashov / Bylashova.
The suit was filed on 6 February 2026. The plaintiff wrote: there has been no shared life for a long time, no feelings, no marital relations for more than ten years. Proceedings were opened on 9 February.
On 21 May the defendant submitted a response. She actually lives in Spain, they were married for over 35 years, and acquired property together. In her view, there is no evidence in the case that the spouses have not lived together for 10 years. That same day the court gave the parties three months for reconciliation and suspended consideration. On 21 August no one from either side attended the hearing. The plaintiff asked to proceed without him. The wife’s representative objected: marital-family relations allegedly continue.
The court replied briefly. Article 24 of the Family Code — marriage by free consent. Article 56 — everyone has the right to end a marriage; coercion to keep it is prohibited. The court considers the husband’s intention deliberate: months in the proceedings did not change it. A new reconciliation period would be a formality. The family, the court concluded, has permanently broken up.
An appeal has already been filed with the Poltava Court of Appeal. Until then the decision does not take effect.
There is no property dispute in this decision. In her response the wife only reminded that property was acquired jointly. Who will divide what is a separate matter, if someone brings it.
Recall that earlier NABU and SAP notified Poltava Regional Council deputy Serhiy Bylashov of suspicion. According to the investigation, he is involved in the misappropriation of almost 204 million UAH from the Center for Production Support branch of Ukrzaliznytsia. In addition to Bylashov, a former director of the CPS branch, Vitaliy Tsvihun, was also notified in the case. Bylashov was taken into custody but was released after paying bail.
