Family law : divorce and division of property. (Russia)
Peter, male US citizen who lives in USA met Russian woman Inna in New York city and they had child in march 2002 born in USA, then Peter married her in Moscow in June 2003. Wife Inna came to USA with daughter from 2004-2006 and marriage didn’t work out and Inna moves back to Russia with child where they still live.
Peter would to get a divorce from Inna. Inna remains in Russia with child.
Can Peter file a divorce in USA but how does serve Inna in Moscow. Is American divorce valid in Moscow Russia? there is no real estate or property involved. A has been sending child support of around $500 a month us dollars to her but has stopped recently.
How is child support and visitation set does Peter need to retain you in Moscow to set visitation and child support. A has never paid Inna alimony but is Inna entitled to ask for same. As child resides in Russia I do not believe the courts in USA have any jurisdiction over the child and therefore does child support and visitation have to be decided in Russian court.
