Question

I am a Russian citizen who married an English citizen in Russia. My husband has dissapeared over a year and half ago. I live in Tel Aviv as I made aliah last year. I have no idea of his whereabouts, but want to divorce him. In Israel it proves to be practically impossible without his presence and consent. Can I divorce him in Russia without his consent and presence?

Answer

Yes, I have participated in divorce proceedings with foreigners. \nAnd of cause without the presence of foreign people at court. \nIn order to start such work, it is required you get and send me a notary power of attorney with the apostille that allows me to do work in Russia on your behalf. A template of this power of attorney, my data and address I can e-mail to you after your request.
