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

You told me it would be more profitable for me to born a child in my country than in Russia; why so? In which case I would have the child's custody?

!
Answer

If a child would be born in Russia, he or she will be a Russian citizen automatically, because the father is Russian citizen. And a Russian court will automatically have jurisdiction. I think, in your case it would be better for you if the child had only foreign citizenship.
