If my wife now does not want a divorce, is it still possible for me to file for it unilaterally? If so, what documents would I need? And would she be able to challenge the divorce request? Or stop the process? Again, we have no joint property and no kids.

I appreciate you taking the time to help me with all this! I know the situation is a little challenging, but my wife (who I haven't seen now in over two years) is a little unstable and changes her mind frequently on things.

Please correct me if I misunderstand, but I do not believe I have jurisdictional standing > to pursue a divorce in a Russian court, therefore only my wife (Russian citizen resident in Russia) could engage you as plaintiff in the case and no power of attorney would be necessary on my behalf. Also, my understanding of the RF "Semmnoye Kodeks" is that a mutually agreed case as this must conclude within 30 days (very efficient compared to American court processes). Is that correct? If all is correct, I will pass your information on to her and she and I will discuss the fees and possibility of using your services.

Here is my question: I am a citizen of Tunis and I am married to a Ukrainian citizen. The marriage was registered in the territory of Ukraine (Donetsk) and legalized in Tunis. The spouses have a minor son (4 years old). The wife took the child and left Tunis. She lives with her parents in the territory of Russia. She doesn’t keep in touch with her son’s father. She is not going to come back and doesn’t intend to divorce or claim alimony payments. The husband wants to divorce. How can it be done? Is it possible to divorce without going to Ukraine? Maybe it shall be done through Ukrainian Embassy in Tunis? What is required for that? Please help! I need professional advise.

I’ve been living in America for 7 years. Recently I found out that my mother privatized an apartment where she lives (cooperative) and where I have been registered since 1989. She also registered her grandson (my sister’s son) there and didn’t say anything about that to me. In her will made about 10 years ago she intended to leave 2/3 of the apartment to me and 1/3 to the nephew. A month ago I was told that she had made a new will according to which the apartment would be divided in two! The nephew is getting married soon and of course he is going to register his wife there. It is the way of the world that children are born in marriages which means one more dweller. I do not have other living space. I rent an apartment in America… Can my relatives deregister me from the apartment behind my back? In case they can what will I lose? What rights to the apartment have the newly registered persons? Can I register my daughter in the apartment? What shall I do for that? I am sorry for emotions but I wouldn’t like to be left with nothing. Thank you.

I have a question: can I sue for alimony payments in the territory of Ukraine being married to a US citizen residing in the USA? What are the chances of getting the payments? I do not want to return to the States and I do not want to live there I feel very bad there. Flying back is difficult and risky for health. I am in Ukraine now. The marriage is not dissolved.

The question is as follows. What kind of responsibility is provided for a person who hasn’t registered her divorce in a Civil Records Office of the Russian Federation? A bill of divorce was issued at her request (in 1998 Taganrog City Court dissolved the marriage concluded between Russian citizens in 1992 in Kaliningrad). She registered the second marriage with a US citizen. Did she have a right to register the new marriage without registering the divorce? By what laws is this procedure regulated? This person concluded the second marriage with the intent to get material benefit and didn’t mention her previous marriage.

Thank you very much for the response, however I think you may have misunderstood me slightly. First, I do not want the divorce and my question was one of knowing if I could request reconciliation. Further, my financial questions and those relating to criminal charges were in case circumstances progress in such a manner to convince me that she has defrauded me. Please believe me I have no real reason to believe this other than her recent ceasing of communication and the similarity of her actions to those defrauding foreigners. Truthfully, I do not think she has does this; my words are merely the ramblings of a man with a terribly broken heart. I am sure what I am about to ask you is not something you usually do, but I am going to ask anyway. Would you considered being hired to assist my wife and I in reconciliation? Frankly, my love for her is deep, clear and completely unending. As you may have already realized, my communication skills need improving. I want nothing more than to repair the damage and move forward. And let me be clear, the damage is far more minor than she seems to be making it sound like. I will be very thorough and objective should you decide to proceed.
Thank you,

I have some general questions I would like to ask and should my marriage situation get any worse than it is at present, I would then wish to discuss hiring you.
First, some brief background:
I am an American citizen and live in the states and she is a Russian citizen living in St. Petersburg. Her K-3 visa is presently in process. We have only been married a couple of months and we were married in St. Petersburg.
My first question is, do both parties have to agree to a divorce or may one or the other force a divorce unilaterally? Can the court be petitioned to require reconciliation? How long would it take? And last and most difficult, can financial support forwarded by me be recovered in a civil lawsuit? Or as has been suggested, in criminal proceedings?
This is all for now and I would like to thank you in advance for your assistance.

I am interested in meeting with your colleague for a consultation. But I am not at the stage yet of filing documents. I am researching whether it is more advantageous for me and for my children to be divorced in Russia or in Canada. I have to answer questions such as, is a Russian divorce recognized by the Canadian courts? What are the grounds for divorce in Russia? Does it require mutual consent or can one party obtain a divorce even if the other doesn't want it? What are the rules on custody of children in Russia, on division of property if the property is mostly in Canada not Russia, on support payments, on legal costs etc.. \nI need a consultation with a lawyer in Moscow who speaks English and knows Russian law who can answer these questions. Then I will decide if I am going to proceed. If I do decide to proceed in Russia then I have to hire a lawyer. I'd been happy to meet with your collegue for an initial consultation. He should tell me the cost if any.
