I am a U.S. immigration lawyer. I’m writing to you because I have a client who needs to retrieve a Ukrainian Birth Certificate and a Russian Certificate of Marriage and Certificate of Divorce for the purpose of filing for U.S. immigration benefits. My client is currently present in the United States and cannot leave to retrieve these documents. I need copies of these documents and I will ultimately need the original documents shipped to my address in the United States.

The name of the Russian Marriage Certificate I need is: Свидетельство о заключении брака (Certificate of Marriage).

The name of the Russian Certificate of Divorce I need is: Свидетельство о расторженнии брака (Certificate of Divorce).

The name of the Ukrainian Birth Certificate I need is: Svidotstvo pro narodzhennya

Would you be able to help us with this? If yes, would you be able to provide the price and timeframe? Also, if you are able to help, would you be able to provide instructions on how to prepare any necessary powers or attorney with apostille and any other necessary materials? If you are unable to help with these matters, would you please provide me with the contact information of someone that could help?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Dear Mrs. Karina Duvall,

I am a Brazilian citizen living in Europe, and I am married in Russia to a Russian woman (ZAGS located in Saint Petersburg).

I already have an appointment in this same ZAGS to terminate the marriage on the next month. The end of the marriage is consensual from both parties, and has no children, and no assets to divide, so it is a simple case.

Do I necessarily need to be there in person to sign it and terminate the marriage, OR, is it possible that a lawyer or person appointed by me could do it on my place?

The reason why I want this, is to avoid the need to travel, as I don´t live in Russia.

In case of a positive answer, could you do it for me? What would be the total costs for this service?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Karina,

I found the website and your info after googling.

I would like to consult few things for my friend who is about to going through the divorce.

He is Russian citizen and so is his wife.They have a daughter about 9 years old. But already no love between them and he wants to move on to another life. The kid will be living with the mother.

I read online about the alimony will be 25% of the annual income.

However, as I know he doesn't want to take the apartment properties, and he has been giving money monthly to his wife to make sure his wife and kid has the sufficient money to make a living, and the money is much above the average salary normal people have.

So, is that possible that we can convince the judge about this continuous payment will be made for kid, instead of the 25% of the annual income, like making some both-satisfied agreement? Since his work is all about temporary project work, which means sometimes he has no job at all and this unemployment time can last for 1 year, then how can he pay the alimony to the kid.

Can you help answer this question.

Also what is your charge of the case and how long it normally takes to complete the divorce.

Hello Ms. Duvall,

As you will see in the attached order from a American court, my children have been illegally taken from United States by their mother to Russia in the summer of 2019. They currently reside in Moscow.

My short-term objective is to be able to communicate with my kids, which has not happened since last September. My mid-term objective is to secure visitation rights in Russia, and be able to have my daughters spend summertime in the United States. My long-term objective is to bring children back to United States.

I am planning a trip to Moscow in February to see my daughters, but the mother is not aware of it. She does not know I have her address. I would like to prepare the file before my trip, and serve the mother with the papers after I have seen my daughters. I plan on seeing them without their mother's knowledge. It is unrealistic to expect her to cooperate. If she learns anything about my trip or the legal proceedings, she will disappear and I will not see my daughters.

I am aware that Russia and USA have no partnership agreement under the Hague Convention. Please let me know if you can help me.

Could you translate the list of documents to get Russian citizenship for the child, to English and send it again including my husband, in to the thread of emails?

Thank you for your email. I need to know if my wife has any right to divorce me in the UK having been deported for using a dead woman's passport. I know she can not return to the UK, but can she still direct UK lawyers to act on her behalf?

It would be pointless to begin Russian proceeding when she has already started in the UK. I have been delayed because I do not have an address for her. She is now aware of what I want to which she said she wants to be divorced in the UK (for obvious reasons).

How eligible is she to get a divorce in a country that deported her for fraud?

I have not seen my Russian wife for over two years she walked out of my house with all her belongings over 3yrs ago. I have asked for a divorce on several occasions to which she asks for me to do things before she will divorce me. On one occasion she said that i have got to get her a Schengen visa before she can start thinking about giving me a divorce. Now she wants me to pay her a divorce settlement and also pay for her solicitor. Recently she has asked me to help her get back into the UK, she was arrested and imprisoned and deported from the UK for using a passport that belonged to a deceased woman. A year after she left my home I traveled to the UK and met a woman who fell pregnant and has had my child. My wife is insisting that that was cheating and I must pay for it. Where do I stand with this, I would like to divorce in Moscow, but she says she wants to divorce in the UK. She took all the marriage paperwork with her when she left my house in Moscow 3 months after we were married. We have no children and we have no properties or businesses together, what do i owe her and how can i get a divorce from her in Moscow without having the papers of our marriage. How do I avoid divorcing in the UK, my wife is currently living in Russia and I am in the UK. Can she instruct UK lawyers, has she got the right to? Thank you

Good morning,

My name Is David, I’m writing on behalf my girlfriend, I do actually I live in Belgium, my girlfriend is being here many time as get a Visa for her is not a problem. Now that our relation is more than stablished we want to take her son Vova. The think is that she is already being divorced for 7 years wright now with her ex. We have no news from him since the day he was born. He also owns to her a big amount of money as he did never take care of buying one single thing for his son food, supplies etc.. This man is originally from Moldova and his never being registered to Russia. We need a solution as we cannot find the way to get in touch with him, maybe his dead we don’t know. We want to start a new beginning in Belgium as a family and we need really serious help. As also Vova her son thinks I’m his father we are now being many years together and he thinks I work abroad, and we see only me for Christmas and summer holidays. I really need you help as we been after this for more than 3 years.

I hope you are keeping well, thanks for all your help with my divorce from Natalia.
Although the divorce has gone through months ago Natalia thinks she can claim money from me. She has been talking to her sister who has been encouraging her.
She wants to go to the British Embassy in Russia and complain that I should buy her and her son from a previous marriage a house.
She is also threatening to fly to South Africa to argue with my mother for money.
Does Natalia have any grounds to make a successful claim seeing we are divorced ?
Natalia was living in Moscow where it was much cheaper to live. She has now moved to St. Petersburg where things are far more expensive and is demanding I buy her an apartment.
Natalia contacted my brothers ex-wife in South Africa who then warned me that Natalia was causing trouble,

Hi,

I am a UK citizen, who married in Russia, a Russian citizen, in 2001. She moved to the USA with me, in 2001, and we had a child late 2001. Early 2002, she moved back to Russia with our infant child. They returned to the USA in 2004, and we lived together until they left again in 2006. I have visit them in Russia, however, nether my daughter or wife had returned to the USA since 2006. I have since come to find out my wife was unfaithful. So now I would like to dissolve the marriage.

Is there any grounds to annul due to the fact we haven't leaved together for over 10 years? or Due to the fact that when we got married, the marriage license was obtained fraudulently. We needed to have it within a week, and something was done to make this happen, otherwise we would have had to wait 32 days. Anyway, is there away to annul the marriage because the license was obtained fraudulently??

The marriage took place in Moscow. How much would it cost to court file? I mean, my understanding is, it has to be court filed since there is a minor child. Is that correct? Also, if my wife agrees to the dissolution, my understanding is that the divorce can be pushed through without the child custody/money issues attached, and they can be dealt with separately. Is this correct?

Also, how much does it cost to obtain my marriage certificate? I need the original for US immigration purposes as well as the divorce. My wife has an original, but, so far she hasn't sent it to me.

Thank you,
