Family Law: divorce proceedings, conclusion of marriage (Russia)

Question:

My wife and I were married in France. She is a Russian citizen, residing in Russia. I am a US citizen residing in the US. We have been separated, without any formal court proceedings, for over 1 year. We would now wish to be divorced. Neither of us wishes their expense to travel to appear in court in another country. There are no children and all property, etc. is already divided. My state in the USA has a long waiting period, especially if both parties do not appear. Can my wife arrange the divorce in Russia, without my appearing? And, if yes, how long would such a divorce take to get? Thank you,

Question:

Thank you for your helpful email. \nMy partner is a Russian citizen. She has given her mothers home as permanent resident. She is trying to divorce under Swiss law but her husband refuses and it can take 5 years. She is temporarily with me in the UK. Her husband has not issued any divorce proceedings. \nShe has also just filed papers in Russia. The marriage took place to her Swiss husband in Switzerland and she has filed papers with the apostille stamp to the Russian Court in Kineshma. She has filed with apostille stamp her Swiss marriage certificate. She has no children with this man. \nThe city of residence is Kineshma near Ivanovo. \nAfter she has filed the papers what happens next? \nWe have a lawyer in Swiss in the town where her husband lives and he is able to contact her husband. \nIt sounds like there is this three month period- what if he refuses to co-operate, for example if he is sent papers and refuses to sign them or he goes traveling overseas for a few months? \nIf he refuses to cooperate how long after this period will the divorce be issued? \nYour help is much appreciated.

Question:

I have a complex question. I have a friend who is an Israeli citizen, who is facing deportation. He was married ten years ago, in Russia (the Ukraine). His wife is also Russian, now a citizen of Israel. My friend is currently being held for criminal charges--attempted grand larceny. It's a case which in all probability will be dismissed, but upon dismissal my friend will be transferred to an immigration holding facility. Thereafter I believe he will most likely be deported, because he did not have a permit/license to work and has no ties to this country, and no visa. He is in love with an American woman and she is in love with him, but he has been avoiding divorcing his first wife. Now he thinks marrying our American friend could be the only thing to keep him from being deported, but I don't even know what that would entail. It certainly seems like a long shot, not just personally complicated. What would be involved in obtaining the divorce? Is it necessary to go to Russia? Can he and his first wife file here, and what is the likely timeframe?
