DIVORCE

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

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 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.

Question:

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,

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?

What are my chances to receive 50/50 child custody? \nThanks in advance for your answer. You can send it back in Russian, if you want.

Question:

My fiancee and I will be married in Moscow in December. Then I will file k-3 to bring her to USA. She has a 13 year old daughter. The daughter's father had no contact with the child for over 2 years until I came into the mother's life. Now the father, a well-known University professor, has re-entered the daughter's life. He has convinced the daughter to remain in Russia. If the daughter remains in Moscow with her maternal grandmother when my fiancee comes to America, will my future wife lose custody of her daughter because of our marriage? We are hoping that within a year the daughter will also wish to join us in America.
