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.

Question

I married on Nov. 2001 at a town Saratov. After a day of marriage I returned to USA. When I got to USA she asked for divorce stating that she got back to her boyfriend. I signed paper that she sent me for divorce and mailed to her on February 2002. I have original marriage certificate and she has copy of it. She married to me on the paper but sleeping with her old boyfriends. I pray God that it never happens to any man in the world. I lost the money for the 2 trips that I make to marry her. I lost the money that I paid for her wedding ring and wedding dress. I lost the money which I paid to her. I lost the money that I bought many dresses for her. Is it possible to take annulment because we were together after marriage only one day? Annulment at America means that is was a mistake and marriage did not happen? Thanks

Answer

If your wife will not contest the divorce, I can participate in this proceeding. In this situation your case can be considered without my presence in Astrakhan (while I'm being in Saint-Petersburg). \nI will send you a template for the Letter of Attorney in English. Please find out, Can a notary public in your country seal this Letter of Attorney written in English or it should be translated into Portuguese? \nDo you have Marriage Certificate or your Marriage Certificate is with you wife?
