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.

Family law : divorce and division of property. (Russia)
?
Question

Are there other reasons to file in United States vs Russia? What are the other considerations?

!
Answer

If you do not argue over the property, for the divorce in Russia you do not need any reasons or evidence. It is enough that parties or (one party) wants a divorce. From this point of view, it is reasonable to divorce in Russia. If your wife and you can not find an agreement about property and this property is located in USA, in this case, the case should be considered in America. Russian marital agreement regulates only property issues between spouses. Items of the agreement, qualified as non property relationship will not be accepted in Russia. As I mentioned above, Russian court does not have a right to consider claims about division of non moving property which is located abroad. It does not accept the foreign court decision about division of Russian non moving property.
