Question

If my wife now does not want a divorce, is it still possible for me to file for it unilaterally? If so, what documents would I need? And would she be able to challenge the divorce request? Or stop the process? Again, we have no joint property and no kids.

I appreciate you taking the time to help me with all this! I know the situation is a little challenging, but my wife (who I haven't seen now in over two years) is a little unstable and changes her mind frequently on things.

Answer

According to the Russian legislation, you have the right to demand divorce unilaterally. When we start working, I will prepare package of needed documents for you.

Don't worry. You can get a divorce even in case of disagreement of your wife.
