About Russian Divorce

Pursuant to Russian law, pension funds of the spouses, education earned by each of the spouses during their marriage, licenses held by the spouses, corporations and business entities registered abroad are defined as non-marital or separate property.
Furthermore, Russian courts have no jurisdiction over real estate located abroad. Pursuant to Article 30 part 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, disagreements and any claims concerning real estate property including but not limited to rights to land, subsoil, properties, both residential and non-residential, structures, construction projects and other objects making an integral part of the land (as a property) are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the location of the real estate property. Thus, the issue of the division of the entire marital property has never been decided. It is worth noting that there are no international treaties between the Russian Federation and Unites States on legal assistance in civil and family matters. Read More »
