1472.Category:  Family Law: divorce proceedings, conclusion of marriage
 
Dear Mrs. Krasnova,

I found your site on the internet and I have some question concerning apostille on certificates. My wife to be has gotten a marriage and divorce certificate from her home town (Shahkty near Rostov) but there is no Apostille attached. She is now living in Kyrgyzstan and cannot get an apostille there. It took her 6 months to get this document and now it is not legal in Europe. I have some questions: Is it possible to attaches an apostille on the originals when she is in Moscow?

If it is possible, where can she do it and what time she needs to do it? (She can stay some days in Moscow).

If it is not possible, how can she obtain this documents WITH apostille and within 6 weeks?

She has made translations from them and are 'legalized' (she says) by the Russian consul. Is that lawful?

Is it possible that YOU can do all of this, if yes how much will it cost and how long does it take?

I was married with a Russian woman in the May of 2004. Because of me, she got a green card in the USA and she is a permanent resident of the USA this days. In one year our son was born. He got US citizenship by birth and my wife obtained Russian passport for him in consulate. Now our co-life isn’t good, and she wants to divorce according to the Russian laws. She convinces that the son was registered in Russia, though we permanently are living in the USA, and I don’t know how it is possible. I don’t want to divorce in Russia, to which we haven’t any concern and, especially, I don’t want that my son will live in Russia. Could she kidnap the child and secretly take it to Russia? What is the penalty of this in Russian laws? How could I prevent the legal investigation in Russia?

1384.Category:  Family Law: termination of parental rights, rights of the child, child support.
 
I have received a letter from the Moscow faculty of advocates that my wife living in the USA appeals to them with a question that I don’t still allocate the money for the children. They offer to adjust the problem extrajudicially. In case if agreement is not achieved by negotiations they’ll take legal recourse. But what shall I do to avoid pushing the matter through court? I am afraid that after some time my former wife will say that I don’t allocate the money for the children again (I am ready to pay 1/3 of my income to her). And how does the law look at the following: I don’t contact with my children for 7 years already. For me it’s a pretty hard trauma to my mind. Besides, as I have understood, my former wife would like to define the volume of the alimony herself. You can understand that salaries level in the USA and Russia differ highly and accordingly I won’t be able to pay the sum she requests.

My wife came to South Africa together with her husband to work under a contract. After several years they partied and effected a procedure of divorce in a local court. We married after some time. At present, my wife is trying to change her surname in the Russian passport, however the Russian consul says that her divorce and correspondingly her matrimonial state with me are illegal according to the Russian laws. Is it true? Both my wife and her former husband have both the Russian and the South African citizenships.

I was married a citizen of the Netherlands.

Within a year I have not received from him any money and provided our joint child and me myself. At that time I worked and received a good salary in Moscow. Now I don’t work but my former husband works, now his salary is 8500 euro a month. I know his real place of work and his income. In 2006 a magistrate in Moscow defined a volume of the alimony – 25% of his income.

However my former husband refuses to take into account the decision of the Russian court, now he sends to me small sums monthly, demands on meetings with the child and gets on everybody’s nerves – he phones with threats 20 times a day. He himself is afraid to come to the RF and demands that I should send the child to the Netherlands. The daughter and her father have not seen each other for 3 years.

How can I charge the alimony from him in a proper volume? How can I prevent an exit of the child to the Netherlands because I have got reasonable apprehensions that he can refuse to return the child back?

Is it possible for my former husband-foreigner to enforce me send our joint child (her age is 11 years old) abroad for meetings with him?
