  1. Welcome to Family Law and Divorce in Russia This website is designed as an entry point for those needing legal assistance and seeks to make their dealings with Russian family law and divorce law as easy as possible. Whether it be marriage, parental matters, marriage property settlements, prenuptial agreement, marriage contract, spouse support, child support or divorce procedure, this website will serve you as a guide on various aspects of Russian family law, separation and divorce.  Catherine HeathBarrister, Doctor of Law divorceinrussia.com

  2. RUSSIAN DIVORCE Divorce Procedure The Russian family law provides for two types of the marriage termination procedure: Judicial and Administrative. The administrative divorce is granted by the Civil Acts Registration Office (commonly known as ZAGS). It is generally available to those couples who do not have minor children of the relationship and have reached a mutual agreement to divorce. The judicial procedure of marriage termination applies in all cases where the couple has children under the age of 18 or when the husband or the wife contests the divorce; or when one of them is unwilling or unable to lodge a joint divorce application with the Civil Acts Registration Office. divorceinrussia.com

  3. Restrictions on Making a Divorce Application If the divorce proceedings have already been issued in a different jurisdiction, and are pending the hearing or have been heard, court may dismiss the divorce application. Another important limitation is that an application to divorce cannot be filed during the wife’s pregnancy and until the child becomes one year of age, unless the wife agrees to that or files the divorce application herself. divorceinrussia.com

  4. CHILD CUSTODY Child custody and parental rights and responsibilities: • Russian courts have authority to hear child custody, parental responsibility and other matters concerning parental rights and duties, that involve foreign nationals if: • the defendant parent has a place of residence in Russia; • the defendant parent has property in Russia; • in child support and paternity matters the plaintiff is a Russian resident. • It is possible that the case could potentially be heard by courts in various jurisdictions. There will be pros and cons to those options, which should be discussed with your lawyer. divorceinrussia.com

  5. WHY ME I have been practicing as a Russian family lawyer, solicitor and barrister, for over 14 years, specializing in international family law matters. For many years I’ve been a member of the IAML, a worldwide association of practicing family lawyers who are recognized by their peers as the most experienced and skilled family law specialists in their respective countries. I have high qualifications in Russian and Australian law, the latter bearing a lot of similarities with the UK and the US Family law. I’ve practiced law and appeared in courts in Russia and abroad as a barrister and legal expert in Russian law, including the Supreme Court of Russia, the Family Court of Australia, the High Court of the UK, High Court of Netherlands and other.  divorceinrussia.com

  6. WHAT I DO Russian Divorce and Family Law is, generally, more liberal than the Western Family Law. However, the Russian legal system can be complicated, while language barriers can make it hard to deal with. I work with both foreign and Russian clients; the international side of my practice sees me acting primarily as a Russian family lawyer where one party or both are foreign nationals. My services extend to the following aspects of Russian Family Law: financial agreements, commonly known as pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreements, complex multijurisdictional property cases, parental matters, including children relocation, child support and spouse maintenance, inheritance and related fields of law. divorceinrussia.com

  7. WHO I AM Russian Lawyer. Divorce Attorney. International Family Lawyer I provide services as a family lawyer and divorce attorney since 2000 when I was admitted to practice as a Russian lawyer, the member of the Bar Chamber of the Moscow Region. In 2005 i also joined the Moscow Bar of Arbitration Lawyers. In 2007 I became a fellow of the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, a worldwide association of practicing family lawyers who are recognized by their peers as the most experienced and skilled divorce attorneys and family law specialists in their respective countries. I speak both, Russian and English languages. While my area of expertise includes various aspects of Family law, Civil, Property, Tax and Inheritance law, the major part of my work deals with international family law cases, complex property settlements, prenuptial agreements and children matters, including international child abduction cases. divorceinrussia.com
