My husband (a Russian national) and I (a British national) have been married for 7 years (married in St Petersburg) and have one son. My husband left me and my son one year ago to return to St Petersburg and I am considering a divorce from him. I would be grateful for a brief guide to the procedure for divorce in Russia where the marriage is a British/Russian one and there are children involved. My husband has property in St Petersburg and my son has Russian and British passports.
I specialize in international divorce cases, wherefore I can take your case if you so desire. Can you let me know please where your son was born?
To handle your case, I need to receive permission from you, text of which I will send to you. This permission will need to be notarized and apostiled. Have you done it before? If not, I will send you an example of the apostile.
I can get a copy of your Marriage Certificate in St. Petersburg. As for your child's Birth Certificate - it depends on where he was born.
My work will start as soon as I start working on the documents to be filed with the court and ends upon receiving the apostiled Divorce Certificate, which I will send you.
If you agree with these conditions, send me please the addresses of the parties and electronic copies of your Marriage Certificate and your child's Birth Certificate.
