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

My daughter got divorced. Does she need his consent in case she gets married again and her new husband wants to adopt her child? Her future husband is a foreigner. He is a man of solid character. What actions can be taken in case her ex-husband disagrees.

Answer

The consent is required. According to Art. 130 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation parents' consent to adoption is not required in case they are:

- unknown or acknowledged missing by the court;

- acknowledged legally incapable by the court;

- are deprived of parental rights;

- do not live with a child and deviate from upbringing and supporting the child for more than six months due to excuses which the court considers unreasonable.
