Divorce isn't such a tragedy. A tragedy's staying in an unhappy marriage, teaching your children the wrong things about love. Nobody ever died of divorce.

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

Family Law: divorce proceedings, conclusion of marriage (Russia)
My husband (a Russian national) and I (a British national) have been married for 7 years (married in St Petersburg) and have one son. My husband left me and my son one year ago to return to St Petersburg and I am considering a divorce from him. I would be grateful for a brief guide to the procedure for divorce in Russia where the marriage is a British/Russian one and there are children involved. My husband has property in St Petersburg and my son has Russian and British passports.
