The practice of avoiding declaring property by fictitiously dissolving marriage by declaring entities has become obsolete after amending the 2019 Anti-Corruption Law.

"Now in the case of co-residence of the declarant with the ex-spouse as of December 31 or more than half of the ex-spouse's reporting period, it is necessary to indicate in the section 2.2" Information on the members of the declarant's family "of the declaration as a person who lives together but is not married», - they noted in the National Agency.

The former spouse ceases to be a member of the declaring entity's family and is not included in the declaration unless they have cohabited with each other during the reporting period, have no common ties, and have no mutual rights and obligations. Similarly in the case of the death of one spouse in the reporting period.

In this case, the divorce or death of one of the spouses does not relieve the subject of the declaration from the obligation to indicate in the relevant sections of the declaration information about the property and other objects belonging to the former spouse and which the subject of possession owned, used at least half days during the reporting period. Even if the spouse is no longer a member of the declaring entity's family.
