Question

My American son wishes to divorce his Russian wife. They both live in Moscow, but were married in Nevada, USA. Where does he get divorced and what should he do to initiate the process. All financial arrangements have been made and agreed to.

Answer

If their marriage certificate is legalized for Russia (i.e. has apostille and notary translation into Russian), the marriage can be broken in Moscow. \nThey are able to divorce either in Russian court or in ZAGS in district there wife of your son has registration. For ZAGS they have to bring joint application for divorce. I can provide your son with detailed consultation about steps that are required for divorce or I can participate in proceedings in court or ZAGS until he will get divorce certificate.
