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

If i know the requirements i could begin to negotiate a settlement. My main concern is that the purchased properties were acquired while married and i'm really not keen on just handing her half of the value there when this money was earned by my hard work years before i met her. Can you advise me on this?

Answer

Yes, I will be glad to help you. As it states in Article 24 of Family Code of Russian Federation, during the Divorce proceedings parties may present Court with their agreement about [...] distribution of the parties’ property.

I think, it is best way for you. So, please inform me, if you would like to reach agreement only or you want divorce with distribution of property?

My service fee for divorce with agreement (without disputes) is [...]. If you have to file equitably distribution action to the court, so if you do not reach agreement with your wife, it will be cost more.
