I am divorced. I have two minor children of five and six years. I receive very small alimony payments. My ex-husband doesn't insist on meeting our children saying that the children who do not live with him are not his children. But the grandmother (mother-in-law) insists on meeting the children. I am against as my husband's relatives were negative about me even before the divorce. The children live with me. My mother-in-law is going to apply to court. My ex-husband is ready to support her. Do they (my ex-husband and mother-in-law) have a right to meet the children who live with me?

I wan to divorce from my wife. And I have a number of questions. My wife doesn't give me the original of the marriage certificate.

My wife is registered in Kaliningrad (region) but lives in Moscow region in an apartment we rented together without concluding any rent contracts. My wife doesn't have temporary registration at the place of residence. She still lives in that rented apartment with our minor child. Shall I apply to court in Kaliningrad or at the place of her actual residence (Moscow region) in case this residence is not registered? My wife doesn't want to divorce. She thinks that I had to provide her with an accommodation. I do not have my own apartment and have never had. How long may divorce proceedings take and does she have a right to my parents' apartment where we have never lived?
