Question

Divorce on the territory of Russia between spouses – non-residents of the Russian Federation, provided that neither of them lives or has place of residence on the territory of the Russian Federation, is impossible. One should address authorized bodies of its own country.

Answer

Mr. Steven Hill, citizen of Great Britain, addressed us with a question on possibility of dissolution of marriage with his spouse, Emmy Hill, citizen of Great Britain. After one hour conversation with the lawyer it became clear that neither of spouses had or presently has citizenship or place of residence on the territory of the Russian Federation. Consequently, this civil case may not be decided by the Russian court, and their marriage shall be annulled pursuant to the applicable law of Great Britain.
