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 boyfriend is an American citizen (formerly Russian citizen) and wants to file for divorce to someone who is still a Russian citizen, living in Russia. This person stated they will contest the divorce even though they have never lived together, nor seen each other in 4 years. Is there such a thing as annulment of marriage in Russia (since they have never lived together)? If he files for divorce and she contests the divorce, how long can the process take? I'm sure he is going to have to hire a lawyer to represent him, so any advice will be appreciated. Thanks! Also, can you be reached by phone on the weekends if he decides to retain a lawyer from your firm?
