Hello

My Russian wife and I wish to get a divorce. I have given her about 120,000 USD since we were married and I do not want to try to recover this money. She can keep it. We just want a divorce. We have no property to divide and we have no children.

Please let me know what we must do to get a divorce. She lives in St. Petersburg and her and I together spend time in Dubai although we are both only in Dubai under tourist visas. I am a Canadian Citizen.

I do not wish to go to Russia to get a divorce. We have an embassy of Russia in Dubai that we can submit paperwork to get divorce.

Regards,

I am a UK citizen, living in the UK with a Russian wife. Sadly, we are starting the process to file for divorce and to do this we need a copy of our Russian marriage certificate. We cannot locate the original copy of our certificate. However, we do have a photocopy, please see attached scan.

I understand from your website, that you are able to obtain originals from the local ZAGS. Is that possible? What would you need form me in order to carry out this task?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance in this matter.

Hi Karina,

I went on your website and I was wondering if you could check the validity of my girlfriend Russian divorce certificate with the reference number.

Because I want to marry her and go through a long and costly visa process, and because I am not living in Russian, I want to check the validity of the certificate and if possible check the integrity of the information: date of divorce and names.

Do you provide that service? If not, could you advise me?

I am a South African National married to a Russian National in a form of a same sex civil union Marriage. I do understand that the Russian Federation do not recognize our Civil Union Marriage. However I am planning to Apply for Temporary citizenship at the Russian Embassy in Pretoria. I will be going on early retirement, and am planning to buy private property in Russia. I will be obtaining a private medical aid to cover myself once there. I will also be receiving a monthly pension salary which will be paid into a reputed Bank in Russia.

Could you be so kind to assist me further also with legal documents and notaries please.

Dear Karina,
I am in a terrible mess and need help. I was married in Saint Petersburg almost 12 years ago. I am an American citizen and my wife and two children are dual citizens. I wanted to move my children to Russia because I don’t like the culture here in America. Please help me with divorce and visitations.

I am Egyptian and my fiancee is Russian.
Do you recommend that we get married in Russia or in Seychelles ?
What are the pros and cons ?

There are more questions which need clarification or comment. I am Canadian citizen. My former wife has dual citizenship - US and Russian citizenship. My former wife and our daughter moved to Russia to avoid US custody order which I have. My questions are:

What happens to my daughters US citizenship, can her mother take this away from her. Also can I get a court order to renew the US passport. As far as the US authorities are concerned, I don't need the mothers permission anymore, she has no legal authority in United States matters regarding my daughter?

Also with Canadian citizenship, the US custody orders are being filed in Canada to give me the same legal rights regarding my daughter in Canada as in the United States. Can I apply for her Canadian citizenship in the Moscow Canadian embassy without the mother as it is not needed or can Russia block both the renewal of her US passport and application for Canadian citizenship?

Is it possible for the mother to remove me from the birth certificate. Is it possible for the mother to change the surname of my daughter from my last name to her without my permission?

Is it correct to assume that my daughter will never be allowed to travel outside Russia until she is 18 years of age. If this is the case, how does she do things such as go with a school sporting team to compete in Poland etc. before the age of 18?

How is child support calculated for a foreign father?

Hi Karina I'm interests in your service but is it possible to have a short phone conversation if is possible because I have one question that I don't know how to ask thank you

I am married to a lady from St. Petersburg, Russia here in Turkey. I was married some 10 years ago. She is wants a divorce here and claiming considerable amount of property and cash from me. I know she has an apartment in St. Petersburg which has been let out for 10 years. As she arrived in Turkey with basically the clothes she stood up in and no money I believe the divorce is only for money.

Can I divorce her in St. Petersburg and claim property a 10 years of rental income. Can it be done with a power of attorney as I am not fit enough to travel to Russia. Her father died around one year ago so there may be another property involved. I remember she secretly had an apostile signed here so this may be relevant.

Thank you in anticipation of any help.
