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 am an Irish man, I got married to a Russian girl 3 years ago , but its not working. Can I get a Divorce in Russia and do I have to be there? we wed' in Mari-El....

Answer

I am specialized in divorce proceeding with foreign citizens. Your divorce is possible in Russia if you wife is a Russian citizen. Please specify what does your wife feel about the divorce: does she agree or not?

You don't have to come to Russia. You would have to prepare a Letter of Attorney to do work in Russia. Do you have your Marriage Certificate? And do you know address of residence of your wife in Russia?
