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

I need to get an official Certificate of Divorce from Russia. It's typically on green paper and would have a number on it. According to ZAGS, the document I have is not sufficient even though it is stamped, etc.

Do you know anything about this?

Answer

According to the Art. 25 Part 1 of the Family Code of Russian Federation, the marriage dissolved at court shall be terminated as from the date of the court decision coming into legal force. It was September 20, 2014 in your case.

I can receive divorce certificate also. I need your Power of Attorney with apostille to represent you before ZAGS authorities, copy of your passport with apostille, and payment. I will receive Divorce Certificate with apostille and English translation for you.

I will be glad to help you.
