Ex-Wife of Singer Roman Sasanchin Explains Why Their Daughter Lives in Poland.

Custody Arrangements Following the Divorce

According to TSN.ua: Ivanna, the former wife of Ukrainian singer Roman Sasanchin, has discussed the custody of their four-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, and her current place of residence. For safety reasons, Elizabeth now lives in Poland with Ivanna, while Roman Sasanchin remains in Kyiv. This decision was primarily driven by security concerns, as Ukraine continues to experience shelling and power outages.

Maintaining the Parent-Child Bond

Ivanna explained that Elizabeth stays with her because the child has been deeply attached to her mother from a very young age.

"She is a mama's girl. Yes, she absolutely loves her father very much, but Eliza is her mother's. It's important for her to have her mother nearby,"

Ivanna also emphasized that she has no intention of separating the daughter from her father.

"I did not separate the child from her dad; I am only for them seeing each other. You can't even imagine how much I want this,"

Cross-border child custody arrangements between parents living in different countries are increasingly common and can be further complicated by external political circumstances. The ongoing war in Ukraine has forced many families to make difficult decisions about their children's safety and residence. It is crucial for parents, despite their personal relationship, to find ways to maintain the child's connection with both parents for her emotional well-being.
