Please could you direct if a contract on mutual recognition and performance of juridical decisions is in effect between Russia and Great Britain? It is very important! Our father left for England and he does not pay the alimony for more than 5 years already.

No my wife is not russian, she is English and i am Eglish as well However I herad it is possible to claim a divorce in your country eventhoyg we are not rusan Citizen

My wife came to South Africa together with her husband to work under a contract. After several years they partied and effected a procedure of divorce in a local court. We married after some time. At present, my wife is trying to change her surname in the Russian passport, however the Russian consul says that her divorce and correspondingly her matrimonial state with me are illegal according to the Russian laws. Is it true? Both my wife and her former husband have both the Russian and the South African citizenships.

I have received a letter from the Moscow faculty of advocates that my wife living in the USA appeals to them with a question that I don’t still allocate the money for the children. They offer to adjust the problem extrajudicially. In case if agreement is not achieved by negotiations they’ll take legal recourse. But what shall I do to avoid pushing the matter through court? I am afraid that after some time my former wife will say that I don’t allocate the money for the children again (I am ready to pay 1/3 of my income to her). And how does the law look at the following: I don’t contact with my children for 7 years already. For me it’s a pretty hard trauma to my mind. Besides, as I have understood, my former wife would like to define the volume of the alimony herself. You can understand that salaries level in the USA and Russia differ highly and accordingly I won’t be able to pay the sum she requests.

Please correct me if I misunderstand, but I do not believe I have jurisdictional standing > to pursue a divorce in a Russian court, therefore only my wife (Russian citizen resident in Russia) could engage you as plaintiff in the case and no power of attorney would be necessary on my behalf. Also, my understanding of the RF "Semmnoye Kodeks" is that a mutually agreed case as this must conclude within 30 days (very efficient compared to American court processes). Is that correct? If all is correct, I will pass your information on to her and she and I will discuss the fees and possibility of using your services.

If I wire the money, what assurances do I have that all of the legal work will be done and that the documents are real?

If my wife now does not want a divorce, is it still possible for me to file for it unilaterally? If so, what documents would I need? And would she be able to challenge the divorce request? Or stop the process? Again, we have no joint property and no kids.

I appreciate you taking the time to help me with all this! I know the situation is a little challenging, but my wife (who I haven't seen now in over two years) is a little unstable and changes her mind frequently on things.
