Question

I am married to a Russian: we married in Russia in 2000 year. I want to live in UK: she in Russia. We have a son 5months old. I need APPLICATION form to divorce in the CYT: Russian court. I have a friend who will help me. Do you have this form? Can you send it to me. I heard I will have to pay 25% maintenance for the child: is this true? How they force me to send the money from England??

Answer

Unfortunately, your friend would not help you: in accordance with Russian law, you cannot claim for divorce unless your child is more than 1 year old. Also, under your spouse's demand, you could be charged alimony for child maintenance (1/4 up to 18th birthday of your child) and also for your spouse maintenance (up to 3rd birthday of your child). \nThe more detailed information I cannot provide as a free of charge consultation.
