Yelyzaveta Yasko, a People's Deputy from the "Servant of the People" party, has initiated court proceedings against former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. The politician intends to establish the procedure for paying child support for their joint daughter and to deprive the former president of his parental rights. The relevant lawsuit has been under court consideration since April 2026.
According to the information received, the lawsuit contains two key points. First, Yasko is asking the court to deprive Saakashvili of parental rights regarding the child. Second, she is demanding the deduction of child support. The deputy proposes setting the amount of monthly payments at one-third of the defendant's income. However, the final amount will depend on the court's decision and the specific circumstances of the case.
Yelyzaveta Yasko publicly announced the birth of her daughter on 1 June 2023. The girl was named Jasmin. In her declarations for 2021 and 2022, the People's Deputy listed Mikheil Saakashvili as a person with whom she lived together, although there was no official marriage between them. Starting from 2023, the former Georgian president no longer appears in her financial documents; instead, their joint daughter, Jasmin Mykhailivna, is listed.
It is known that Mikheil Saakashvili has been behind bars in Georgia since October 2021. It was during this period that his personal relationship with the Ukrainian parliamentarian sparked widespread public discussion. In September 2024, Yelyzaveta Yasko commented on this topic in an interview with restraint. She noted that she no longer visits the country where the former president is imprisoned. The deputy also expressed the opinion that Saakashvili's decision to return to Georgia had not justified itself in light of the consequences for his future.
Lawyer Dmytro Buzanov, who commented on the situation for the publication "Glavkom", explained the legal aspects of the case. According to him, under Ukrainian legislation, both parents are obliged to maintain a child until they reach the age of majority. This obligation does not depend on whether the parents were in an official marriage or what relationship they maintain with each other.
The lawyer emphasised that even in the event of Saakashvili being deprived of parental rights, his financial obligation towards his daughter would remain. Regarding the amount of child support, the court may agree with the demand to deduct one-third of the income or determine a smaller share if the defendant proves the existence of circumstances affecting his financial situation. Such circumstances may include having other children, health status, or financial difficulties.
As a general rule, child support is awarded from the date the lawsuit is filed, which in this case is April 2026. However, the issue of depriving parental rights may prove significantly more complex. Ukrainian courts consider this measure exceptional. To make a corresponding decision, it is necessary to establish that the father consciously and through his own fault evades the fulfilment of parental duties. Non-payment of child support or long-term stay abroad alone is insufficient for this.
Important significance will be given to evidence of Saakashvili's participation in raising his daughter, the circumstances of his imprisonment, and the opinion of the children's affairs service. In addition, from 5 August 2026, cases regarding the deprivation of parental rights are heard with the mandatory participation of a prosecutor.
The lawyer clarified that he is not familiar with the evidence provided by the parties to the court, so his assessment of the possible outcomes of the process is of a theoretical nature only. Currently, there is no final court decision regarding the deduction of child support and the deprivation of Saakashvili's parental rights. The former Georgian president's position regarding Yelyzaveta Yasko's demands has also not been publicly disclosed.
