In case a claim hasn’t been filed you can conclude a notarized agreement with your wife ad effect alimony payments under such agreement, you can also file an application to your employer’s accounting department with a request to withhold an alimony amount of ¼ of your income or you can effect alimony payments to your wife by mail. You can chose the most convenient variant. You can initiate divorce proceedings and the case will be examined irrespective of your wife’s wish, the court is entitled to establish a reconciliation term not exceeding 3 months, in case the reconciliation is not reached the upon expiration of such term the marriage will be terminated (Art. 21, 22 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation).
