Deferral from mobilization for caring for parents: when other relatives don't matter.
If you are a liable citizen and have arranged for a deferral from mobilization in order to care for your parents, then the presence of other relatives does not need to be taken into account. In this case, this factor is irrelevant.
Lawyer Vladislav Deriy explained this on the 'Yuristi.UA' portal.
Caring for wife's relatives
One citizen asked the lawyers whether he could obtain a deferral from mobilization to take care of his wife's relatives.
Lawyer Vladislav Deriy explained in response to the citizen under what circumstances this is possible.
'If it concerns caring for the mother-in-law, you will need to explain why it is you and not her husband or daughter who is taking on this responsibility,' the lawyer emphasized.
When the presence of other relatives does not matter
At the same time, he clarified in what unique situation the presence of other relatives does not affect the possibility of obtaining a deferral from mobilization.
'Other relatives are not taken into account only when you are providing assistance to your parents,' the lawyer explained.
The explanation that other relatives of the citizen are only disregarded in the case of caring for his parents may be useful for liable citizens who are considering the possibility of obtaining a deferral from mobilization due to caring for close relatives.Read also
