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

Can I file for divorce to court in Russia if my wife is Russian citizen, she lives in Russia and our marriage was registered in Russia?

!
Answer

Because your wife is a Russian citizen and she permanently lives in Russia, and your marriage was registered in Russia, therefore, the court in Russia cannot decline to review your case, and this case can be reviewed in Russian court.
