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

Is an ex-wife entitled to ask for a division of the matrimonial assets from the Russian Court in the event of a divorce?

!
Answer

Ex-wife has the right to divide spousal property separately from divorce. If the spousal property located outside of the Russian Federation (in the USA, for example), I would recommend ex-wife to claim it in the USA, not in Russia.
