I am in the process of divorcing in U.S.A. a Russian citizen. During the marriage (3 years) 2 new-built apartments were purchased in her name with funds I mostly provided. I do not know their addresses.
Can their addresses be found by title (or other) search? Either she or her mother are the owners of record.
My understanding is that by Russian law she is unable to sell these properties while married without my written agreement: is this true? And is there a way to put a charge or lien on the properties so that any buyer would be certain to know that the property could not be sold without my agreement?
Any other advice in this regard would be greatly appreciated. |

I would like to seek legal advice on behalf of my brother. He is willing to get a divorce but he is in a complicated situation and does not know where to seek help and legal assistance.
Here is his story: my brother is an American citizen. In 2008, he married a Russian woman in St. Petersburg, a babygirl was born in 2009 in St. Petersburg, the baby is both American and Russian.
Due to serious reasons, my brother wants now to divorce. However, my brother is very attached to his 18 months old daughter and is afraid that his divorce will prevent him from seeing her. Indeed, my brother and his current wife live in Russia where they got married.
My brother does not speak Russian and it is very hard to find English speaking lawyers in St. Petersburg.
As he got married in Russia, he assumes that he will have to divorce in Russia, not in United States, is this right?
Also, if he divorces in Russia, do you know what the procedures are and what the chances are for him to get the shared custody for his daughter? He is ready to stay in Russia after the divorce just for the sake of his relationship with his daughter. He is very attached to her and is a fantastic father.
The main issue for my brother is the child's custody, how can he be sure that he will get a shared custody from Russian courts?
I hope you can provide me with some replies and legal advice as this is quite urgent.
If you need more details on this case, do not hesitate to contact me.
Many thanks in advance for your kind reply. |

Dear Karina Krasnova,
It was a pleasure reading your informative site.
Coming to the point. I intend to marry a Russian woman who has been divorced 11 years ago. She is present is pregnant with our baby.
She has two children of previous marriage. Her ex-husband is a drug addict and had defaulted all alimony payments for the last 11 years. She has a son aged 14 and a daughter aged 12 years.
She is expecting our baby in the first week of October. She has custody of her two children of the previous marriage and we wish to bring them to Turkey. Her ex-husband has told that he will not permit the children to leave Russia.
I have read from your site that we do not require such a permission from him but also it was mentioned elsewhere that if the father has restricted the children from going abroad and staying with mother we have to get a court order in place before they leave the country.
We seek your council and assistance if such a court order is required. As my fiancee is in her last months of her pregnancy I wish to get her and the children over at the earliest. Also the schools in Turkey reopen in September and we wish they could be here in time.
Please advice and we shall do accordingly. |

If the Amicable Agreement does not enumerate a custodial parent's right to remove a child from a country does Russian Law impute the requirement to obtain approval from the non-custodial parent? |

Does Russian Law recognize "nee exeat" *? If so, please define the rights
recognized thereby and whether the Amicable Agreement address those rights.
* Nea Exeat is a term referring to a prohibition from relocating from the country with a child or children without the other parent’s consent. This can arise by either court order applicable to the specific parties or by operation of law which applies to all. Some countries have this prohibition as a matter of law while others require that you specifically include it in the divorce or seek a special order to that effect. |

My son,a US citizen, married a Russian girl, helped her to obtain the GC, had a child born, in NJ. After the child was born, she wanted to go back to Russia and to take a 6 month old baby with her. She asks my son to prepare a passport for a child, so that she can visit her family.(Her mom has been visiting her for 6 months previously). My son is afraid she is going to divorce him in Russia, never come back and that she would ask for a child support from Russia. What he is supposed to do? Let her go without divorce or divorce her or annul the marriage? It is obvious for me that she just used my son to get a Green card and legalize her status. She had previous marriage to another guy, but her first American husband did not agree to do the GC paperwork for her, so she divorced him. My son was sincerely in love with her and now he is totally destroyed by the situation. I need to help him out. Please, advise what can be done. Thanks. |
