Options for divorcing your wife. How to divorce your wife - Rules for divorce under various circumstances. Where to go to get a quick divorce

In 2017 alone, more than 1 million men got married in the Russian Federation, but, unfortunately, not everyone is able to maintain a happy and lasting marriage for many years. During the same period, almost 600 thousand married couples broke up. And in almost every case, upon separation, the problem arises: how to competently divorce your wife and divide property?

General information

There are two ways to divorce your wife:

At the registry office. This method is possible in cases where both spouses agree to divorce. The second condition: the married couple does not have minor children. In this case, the husband and wife file a joint petition for divorce and receive a certificate of divorce. At this point the divorce is considered complete.
In a court. If one of the spouses does not want to divorce, then the second has to file a claim for divorce in court. Also, this method has to be used if there are minor children in the family and, especially, if there are disagreements with determining the child’s place of residence.

In this case, the division of everything acquired during marriage is possible:

in parallel with divorce, if the divorce procedure takes place in court (a statement of claim is filed for divorce and division of property);
after the marriage is dissolved (in court or by voluntary separation agreement).

Where to begin

Trying to come to an agreement and find a compromise is the best way to start dividing property. In this case, the husband avoids long legal disputes, and, therefore, significant financial costs. You should not be led by your ambitions, any grievances or the desire to annoy your opponent; it is always better to solve the problem peacefully; in cases of division, this may be the signing of a voluntary agreement on division.

If an agreement cannot be reached, and the value of the joint property is quite high, then a judicial solution to the problem remains.

Russian legislation establishes several rules when considering claims for divorce and division of joint property:

Usually, the plaintiff files a claim for divorce and division of property in court at the place of residence of the defendant, but if the initiator of the divorce is the spouse with whom the minor lives, then he can file a claim at his place of residence;
Also, a plaintiff who has a disease that makes it difficult for him to get to court to participate in the process in another area of residence has the right to apply to the court at his place of residence;
if the family relationship actually ended before the divorce occurred, then in the statement of claim the plaintiff must indicate, in addition to the date and place of divorce, the date when the spouses actually separated (separated or stopped running the household together);
in cases where the defendant is not against divorce, but does not agree with the option of division of property proposed by the plaintiff and has notified the plaintiff about this, then the latter is obliged to reflect this circumstance in the statement of claim;
if there are minor children, the plaintiff is obliged to list (indicating the date of birth and actual location) each of them, as well as indicate the requirements for determining their place of residence (if there is no consensus on this issue with the defendant);
in the statement of claim, the applicant must, in addition to the claims for divorce, indicate the reason why he wants to dissolve the marriage, and the text must be correct in relation to the opponent, without any epithets or comments of an offensive nature.

How is joint property divided?

In accordance with the IC and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, all joint property upon divorce is divided equally. But there are some exceptions, namely:

If minor children remain with the wife (or husband), the court may not divide the property equally, but transfer most of it to the wife.
Also, equality of shares is not required to be observed when drawing up a marriage contract.
A violation of the ideal share is also possible when drawing up a voluntary agreement on the division of joint property.

The legislation determines that joint property can be:

All real estate acquired during the period of marriage and with joint funds. This could be a plot of land, a separate house, a dacha, an apartment, a garage, or other permanent buildings.
Any vehicles, other machines and mechanisms.
Joint deposits, shares, other securities.
Private firms, LLCs and other enterprises in which joint funds were invested.

What can and cannot be shared

A number of properties are not subject to division, among them:

Any property received by one of the spouses as an inheritance or gift, or acquired with his personal money. An exception to this rule may be the personal property of one of the spouses, significantly improved during the marriage using joint funds or the personal money of the second spouse.
Property acquired by a husband or wife before marriage.
Property purchased during marriage, but with the personal funds of the husband or wife.
All items purchased for minors or used only by them. For example, a computer that was bought for a child for classes.
Personal items. The exception is items that are of high value. Among them are jewelry and antiques.

The legislation establishes several rules for the division of joint property, namely:

If the actual division of the property is impossible, the court may assign ownership of half of the property to each spouse. Thus, the house or apartment will remain in the shared ownership of the spouses.
The second option, if division in kind is impossible, the law establishes the sale of an apartment or house in order to subsequently divide the proceeds.
A third option is also possible - the object is transferred to one of the spouses with payment of monetary compensation to the other. In effect, one spouse buys out the other's share.
If a marriage contract is concluded, the law allows a deviation from the equality of the parties and the division of joint property according to the shares and procedure specified in the document.

How is maternity capital divided?

The husband has no right to maternity capital funds; these are targeted payments that belong only to the wife.

But if the spouses invested MK in the purchase of residential premises, then there are several nuances during the division, namely:

If only MK funds were invested in the purchase of housing, then during a divorce it is transferred to the wife, since the husband has nothing to do with the maternal certificate.
If the spouses used the MK to pay off the mortgage, or as a first payment for the mortgage, but at the time of the divorce the loan had already been repaid, then when dividing, the amount of the invested MK and the share of the apartment (or house) attributable to This amount is entirely transferred to the wife. The remainder of the property is divided equally. As a result, the husband receives a share of the apartment, which is worth less than the wife by the amount of MK.
The capital was invested as a down payment on a mortgage that was not paid off at the time of the divorce. This is the most difficult version of the section. In any case, that part of the living space that corresponds in value to the amount of MK has already been paid, it is completely transferred to the wife and children. Next, a complex calculation is made. The part of the apartment for which the mortgage has already been repaid is divided equally, leaving a share corresponding in value to the unpaid mortgage. Here the court proceeds as follows: part of the property, corresponding in value to the outstanding part of the loan, is transferred to the spouse who will repay the balance of the mortgage.

For example, a married couple bought a two-room apartment worth two million 400 thousand rubles. Of this, they invested 400 thousand from MK funds, and took out a mortgage loan for the rest. A few years later, the couple divorced. At the time of the divorce, only half of the loan was repaid.

The division took place as follows: a share corresponding to 400 tr. was transferred to the wife, a share equal to the repaid amount of one million rubles was divided equally between the spouses, and a part corresponding in value to the million rubles outstanding on the mortgage was transferred to the husband, in whose name the mortgage was issued.

As a result, the wife received a share equal to (450 rubles + 500 rubles) 900,000 rubles, and the husband received a share of residential premises equal to (500 rubles + 1 million rubles) one and a half million rubles.

How are loans divided?

All loan obligations can be divided into personal (loan funds were used for personal purposes and repaid from personal funds) and joint. The second option is the most common. The division of the outstanding loan depends on many factors, such as:

The husband became the guarantor for the wife’s loan (or vice versa), and the loan was used for general needs. Such a loan is divided equally, that is, both husband and wife are equally responsible for its repayment.
The husband (or wife) is the owner of the credit card on which there is debt. The second spouse does not bear any responsibility for servicing the card and paying off the debt.
One of the spouses took out a consumer loan for personal needs, for example, to buy a telephone. The obligation to repay the loan does not apply to the second spouse.

Thus, only those loans that were issued for the purchase of joint property are subject to division, and if this property is transferred to one of the spouses, then the second is released from the obligation to service the loan. Moreover, he may demand half of the funds already spent on repaying the loan.

Before the procedure for dividing joint property and loan obligations, it is advisable to find out a few more important points:

Clarify the terms of the loan agreement. Pay special attention to those points where the borrower and guarantor are indicated and how the bank intends to solve problems with delays in loan payments. If, for example, the husband is listed as a guarantor for his wife’s loan, then in cases where she is unable to service the debt for some reason, the husband will have to pay it as the guarantor.
It is also necessary to clarify for which purchase the loan agreement was drawn up. If borrowed funds were spent on acquiring joint property, then the spouses will have to repay it jointly. If the money was used to purchase personal property, then the balance of the loan will be repaid by the spouse for whom the borrowed funds were intended.

When is the best time to start a section?

You should not delay the division of joint property and put it off “for later.” There are various reasons, for example:

over time, documents necessary for a fair division of property may be lost, witnesses may leave, forget the circumstances of the case (dates and specific facts);
part of the property may be lost, its price may decrease;
one of the spouses who still has joint property may try to hide it from division, for example, transfer it to someone else, or conclude a fictitious purchase and sale agreement;
The plaintiff may miss the statute of limitations, which is three years.

Many lawyers recommend carrying out the division procedure in parallel with the divorce. This option will be optimal in cases where the husband is not confident in the moral purity of his wife and fears that she will try to hide the joint property from division. But it is necessary to keep in mind that in this case, the divorce may drag on for a long time. Everyone must decide what is more important to him in this case: a quick divorce and subsequent division, or the process of divorce in combination with division, which takes a longer time.

Section order

In accordance with the IC, spouses can divide joint property in two ways:

by concluding a voluntary separation agreement;
judicially.

If the ex-husband and wife are able to solve the problem of division peacefully, then they can draw up a voluntary agreement. They can sign such a document both during any period of marriage and after its dissolution.

A division agreement should not be confused with a marriage contract, although they have a lot in common: in both the first and second documents, the parties can deviate from the principle of equality of the parties and divide property according to agreements.

A marriage contract, unlike a voluntary agreement, can be concluded even before marriage and stipulate in it the procedure for dividing the proposed property. The second difference is that the contract cannot be signed if the divorce has already occurred.

If it is impossible to resolve the problem peacefully, the division of joint property remains in court. Typically, such a division process is lengthy and more expensive.

Voluntary agreement

The agreement on the division of joint property is an official document. It must be notarized and signed by both parties, otherwise it will be considered legally void and illegitimate.

If the procedure for drawing up and signing an agreement, as well as its certification at a notary office, is followed, it is impossible to challenge the document.

The following information is required to be filled in:

personal information about the signatories of the document;
a list of joint property subject to division with a mandatory detailed description of each divisible item;
the procedure and procedure for division, which indicate into what shares the joint property is divided, or what subject of division is transferred to whom.

Before certifying a document, the notary checks its legality and explains to each of the signers the consequences of the section they have agreed upon.

Judicially

It was not possible to reach an agreement. In this case, judicial division remains.

Required documents

In order for the court to accept the claim for consideration, the applicant must provide the court with a certain package of documents, namely:

Statement of claim in several copies. The number of copies depends on the number of parties to the process.
Certificate of marriage and its dissolution, if a divorce has already occurred.
Title documents for all property proposed for division.
If there are minor children, a birth certificate for each child.
Receipt for payment of state duty.

All documents, except the receipt, are submitted in copies; the plaintiff must bring the originals to the trial for the court’s review.

Statement of claim

In the statement of claim, the plaintiff provides the following information:

The name and address of the court to which he is applying.
Data on all sides of the process.
The price of the claim.
A list of all items expected to be included in the section with a detailed description of each of them.
List of articles and laws to which the plaintiff refers in his claims.
Requirements for the division of joint property.
A numbered list of all attached documents.

Section cost

Of course, the division of joint property will require certain material costs, and these costs will differ significantly for different methods of division.

Voluntary separation agreement. The most cost-effective partition option. When drawing up an agreement, the parties will need to pay a notary fee, which, depending on the amount of the agreement, can cost from three hundred rubles (if the price of the property being divided is up to one million rubles) to an amount exceeding 32 thousand rubles (if the value of the property exceeds 10 million rubles).

Division through court. With this option for dividing joint property, costs can become significantly higher. Few ordinary citizens will be able to independently draw up a legally competent statement of claim, so they will have to resort to the services of a lawyer. The cost of such services depends on the region, for example, in Moscow

an oral consultation with a lawyer will cost from 1,000 rubles;
for a written consultation you will have to pay from 3,000 rubles;
drawing up a statement of claim and assistance in collecting documents will cost from five thousand rubles;
the cost of complete case management will cost 35 – 40 tr.

In addition, the plaintiff will have to pay a state fee, the amount of which depends on the price of the claim. You can calculate the amount of duty using the table.

Property value, rub.	Deduction from the amount, rub.	Constant, rub.	State duty (percentage of property value, %)	State duty limit, rub.
Up to 20,000	-	-	4	Not less than 400

Over 1,000,000	1,000,000	13,200	0.5	No more than 60,000

Decisions such as divorce are made without haste. But spouses may have many reasons for quickly ending their marriage. Perhaps you urgently need to conclude an important deal or travel abroad in the near future. And maybe even enter into a new marriage. What to do in such a situation?

In this article we will consider not only the timing of the divorce procedure, but legal ways to speed up the divorce as much as possible.

Ways and terms to quickly divorce your husband

What needs to be done to ensure that a divorce from your husband occurs as soon as possible, and does not drag on for several long months?

By mutual agreement

The main condition for a quick divorce is mutual agreement between husband and wife. The fewer disputes and disagreements, the faster the divorce occurs.

If the husband does not object to his wife’s desire to dissolve the marriage, a divorce can be filed...

through the registry office in 1 month.

If a married couple does not have children under 18 years of age together, they can get a divorce through the registry office.

Property disputes between spouses are not an obstacle to administrative divorce, since they can be resolved in court before or.

The duration of an administrative divorce can neither be accelerated nor delayed - it is exactly 30 days from the moment of filing the application until the registration procedure is carried out at the registry office, the date and place of which the spouses will be duly notified.

What is needed for a quick divorce through the registry office?

Firstly, prepare and submit to the registry office (or) a joint application for divorce, and secondly, be sure to appear at the registry office within 30 days of submitting the application for the divorce procedure. If neither spouse appears at the divorce procedure, the divorce will not take place - the submitted application will be canceled and the paid state fee will not be returned. True, the spouses can submit a new application the very next day, but they will again have to wait 30 days.

through the court in 2-3 months(including the period for the court decision to enter into legal force of 1 month).

If a husband and wife have children, they will have to end their marriage.

All kinds of disputes and proceedings regarding the place of residence, maintenance, and upbringing of children are the main reason why the divorce process can drag on for several months. But if there is mutual agreement and a willingness to compromise, the divorce process can be shortened as much as possible up to 2 months provided by law.

How to speed up a divorce from your husband through court?

First of all, you need a well-drafted statement of claim, which will not have to be redone at the direction of the court, as well as a complete package of documents, not out of place among which would be a parental agreement on the maintenance and place of residence of the children. And finally, regularly attend court hearings - in order to avoid postponement and delay of the proceedings.

Without husband's consent

Is it possible to get a divorce if the husband does not agree?

Yes. Contrary to popular belief, the reluctance of one of the spouses to divorce is not a reason for forced preservation of the family. The marriage will be dissolved, regardless of the husband's consent or disagreement.

Often, a husband who does not want to get a divorce deliberately resists the divorce process and delays it.

For example, he asks the court to give him the opportunity to reconcile with his wife. As a rule, the court makes such a concession and assigns the spouses 1-3 months. If the wife does not change her mind, after the expiration of this period the marriage will still be dissolved.

Another way to delay the divorce process is to ignore court notices and. But the divorce will take place even in the absence of the husband - the court will make a decision on divorce after two forced postponements of court hearings.

Thus, the husband’s disagreement can be the main reason for the delay in the divorce process.

In addition, the duration of the divorce process may be affected by...

presence of children (the court must resolve controversial issues about place of residence, upbringing, and maintenance of children);
existence of property disputes.

What to do to shorten the divorce if the husband disagrees?

First of all, prepare your claim correctly. Indicate that reconciliation between you is impossible, attach to the claim documents and other evidence of the impossibility of saving the family (characteristics, medical certificates, witness statements). This way you can avoid the court setting a 3-month period for reconciliation.

If possible, agree in advance on all possible controversial issues (about children, about joint property).

Attend all court hearings or file motions to hear the case without the parties present to avoid delays in the divorce process due to failure to appear.

Ways and terms to quickly divorce your wife

By mutual agreement

After the case is considered 1 more month, during which it is possible to file a complaint and review the case, after which the court decision comes into force.

As practice shows, spouses often reconcile and abandon their plans to divorce. Most often this happens within the first month after applying to the registry office or court, less often during the trial. That is why the law does not allow any exceptions or opportunities to speed up a divorce.

But the opportunity to refuse the submitted application and cancel the divorce is given to spouses right up to the registration procedure itself and the issuance of a divorce certificate. Spouses who change their minds about divorce will be able to reapply at any time - an unlimited number of times. The law does not provide any sanctions for such “indecision.”

We have already mentioned: It will not be possible to get a divorce faster than in a month. The minimum period for divorce (administrative and judicial) is 1 month. In order not to delay the divorce process, spouses must act in concert and promptly comply with the requirements of the law.

To quickly get a divorce through the registry office, you need:

prepare ;
collect ;
pay the state fee on the day of submitting the application, having received payment details directly from the civil registry office or from the MFC department.
visit the registry office in 1 month, to .

As for possible disputes about the division of joint property, they are not an obstacle to divorce through the registry office. If a wife and husband want to divorce, they can do it administratively, and divide their joint property in court (before or).

To speed up a judicial divorce, you need...

competently, avoid making mistakes and inaccuracies that will lead to refusal or return of the claim for amendments.
collect all the necessary to avoid delaying the trial for several days or weeks due to missing evidence and certificates.
get . This will help avoid the common practice of postponing the trial at the request of the defendant spouse for 1-3 months - for reconciliation with the plaintiff spouse.

If the husband or wife does not agree to a divorce, it is necessary to clearly indicate in the statement of claim that further life together for the spouses and preservation of the family is impossible, and also provide evidence (witness testimony, work references, police reports, medical documents about bodily injuries). The goal is to convince the court that reconciliation is impossible, and living together is extremely undesirable, or even poses a threat to the life and health of the wife and/or children.

It is necessary to obtain consent for divorce from your wife if she is pregnant or gave birth to a child less than 1 year ago. Otherwise, the court will refuse to consider the claim.

come to an agreement regarding the children: places of residence of children, alimony payments. If possible, conclude. This will shorten the trial time and speed up the decision.
attend all court hearings.

How to quickly get a divorce if the husband or wife cannot or does not want to attend court hearings? The law allows for the possibility . All that needs to be done is to inform the court that you have received a copy of the claim and documents, and file a petition to consider the case without participation, attaching documents confirming the impossibility of participation in court hearings. If the husband or wife decides to boycott the divorce process and begins to miss court hearings without proper warning, the court may rule on divorce without his participation.

the dispute over the division of joint property should be considered in another court hearing.

Although the law does not exclude the consideration of several claims at the same time (for example, for divorce and division of property), this delays the divorce. If you can divide the property yourself (by ) or postpone it “for later”, the divorce will take place faster.

Beware of scammers and do not resort to the services of intermediaries who promise you a faster divorce: this is illegal!

What is divorce of spouses

Official divorce is the dissolution of a marriage between spouses. It is not enough to simply move to different apartments, stop communicating and run a joint household. Divorce means that it occurs in the prescribed manner, with the receipt of official documents confirming that the marriage is terminated.

Only those spouses who entered into it through the registry office can dissolve a marriage. The word divorce is not used in family law; it is colloquial. It is correct to say, and even more so to write in official documents, divorce.

You can end a marriage not only by dissolution; the marriage ends in the event of the death of the spouse, and in some cases it is possible.

Procedure for divorce in 2019

To dissolve a marriage, the desire of one of the spouses is sufficient. If a husband or wife wants to divorce, the marriage will be dissolved in any case. Nothing depends on the wishes of the other spouse, but he may delay the time of the official divorce.

An exception to this rule is during the wife's pregnancy and the period of one year from the birth of a joint child. At this time, the husband does not have the right to apply to the court for divorce. He can do this only with the consent of his wife. Moreover, if the child was stillborn or died after birth, the husband will still have to wait one year.

The marriage is dissolved either through the registry office or in court. The choice of method of divorce depends on the presence of children and the wishes of the spouses. When dissolving a marriage in court, after the decision has entered into legal force, you still need to apply to the registry office for a certificate of divorce. The general rule for divorce is that it is formalized no earlier than 1 month from the date of application.

Similarly, divorce occurs when one spouse, with mutual agreement to divorce, is not able to come to the registry office. In this case, he draws up a notarized consent for divorce. If the spouse is in custody or serving a sentence in prison, his application can be certified by the head of the institution.

Recently, you can submit an application for termination of marriage through a multifunctional center for state and municipal services or through a single portal of state services.

Divorce in the registry office at the request of one spouse

In certain circumstances, it is possible to dissolve a marriage through the civil registry office without asking the opinion of the second spouse, upon the application of one of them. These cases are strictly defined by the Family Code of the Russian Federation, we list them:

if one of the spouses is sentenced to imprisonment for committing a crime for a term of more than 3 years. In this case, a copy of the court verdict that has entered into legal force is attached to the application to the registry office.
if the second spouse is declared incompetent by the court. A copy of the court decision declaring the citizen incompetent is attached to the application. For information on the procedure and conditions for declaring a citizen incompetent, see: .
if the other spouse is declared missing. A copy of the court decision is also attached to such an application to the state registration authorities, for more details: .

Grounds for divorce through court

Registration of divorce through the court will be required if there is no possibility and grounds for divorce in the registry office. The process of divorce will be longer; it will be necessary to file an application for divorce, collect additional documents, the judge may extend the trial to reconcile the husband and wife.

In court, divorce occurs if there are common children under 18 years of age, if one of the spouses objects to the divorce or if he evades appearing at the registry office. During the consideration of claims for divorce in court, it is possible to declare the determination of the place of residence and the order of raising children, the division of jointly acquired property, the collection of alimony for children and spousal maintenance, and other disputes arising from family relations. However, it is better to do this independently.

According to the general rules, requirements for divorce relate to, if there are additional requirements, the case may become subject to the jurisdiction of a district (city) court.

As for territorial jurisdiction, in the general case () claims for divorce are filed at the place of residence of the defendant. There are exceptions to this rule; if there are children or for health reasons, the plaintiff can file a claim at his place of residence ().

The procedure for divorce through court

Let us consider in more detail the procedure for divorce of spouses through a magistrate judge, if only a demand for divorce is submitted to the court. If there are other claims combined into one proceeding, the case may be considered at a later date and with a larger number of court hearings.

After submitting the claim to the magistrate or district court, you must wait for notification of the time and place of the trial. Typically, such a notice arrives 10-14 days after the claim is filed. If the notice is not received, you should call the court and find out the reasons; it may be abandoned. As a rule, if everything is in order with the application, the court assigns such cases immediately to trial, 1 month after the application is received by the court.

You can come to the court hearing in person or ask to consider the case in your absence. The defendant can file a lawsuit or sue.

First of all, the court finds out whether the defendant agrees to divorce. If there is consent, the marriage is dissolved without further clarification of the motives and grounds for divorce. If the defendant does not agree to divorce, the judge finds out the reasons for going to court, the possibility of preserving family relationships, and then gives a period for reconciliation. In this case, the court hearing is postponed for up to 3 months. At the next court hearing, if the plaintiff does not file, the marriage is dissolved.

A court decision on divorce comes into force 1 month after it is made. If filed, the decision will come into force after the case is considered by the appellate court.

On the day the court decision comes into force, the marriage will be considered dissolved. You must contact the civil registry office with a copy of the decision, which will issue a certificate of divorce. A divorce certificate is a document confirming the dissolution of a marriage.

Thus, if a marriage is dissolved through the court, the divorce will be formalized no earlier than 2 months, and may drag on for 5-6 months if there is resistance from the second spouse.

A marriage can be dissolved through the court no earlier than 2 months in advance.

Divorce through court with children, procedure for divorce

The procedure for dissolving a marriage through the court in the presence of children does not differ from the usual one. At the same time, in addition, the application for divorce can include demands for the collection of alimony, for determining the place of residence of children and for participation in their upbringing. However, we recommend not to do this; it is much more practical and faster to resolve these issues separately.

Divorce through the court, even with children, is considered by a magistrate, who also considers claims for alimony. Family disputes involving children are heard only by the district court. Therefore, it is possible to submit separate applications to different places. When filing a divorce through the court with children, the court can also give time for reconciliation by postponing the court hearing for 3 months, during which time other claims will not be considered.

As you know, divorce is a very difficult situation from a moral point of view. No matter how calm the former spouses may seem, both of them, one way or another, will experience psychological stress. From the legal side, the divorce procedure can also be quite complicated - especially if the couple managed to acquire common property and have children.

Divorce procedure

When a situation arises in a family that divorce is inevitable, very often spouses do not know where and how to file for divorce.

Difficulties also arise from the questions of how to write an application, what documents are required for this process, and how long the divorce procedure takes.

Keep in mind: if the spouses came to such a decision by mutual agreement, and the couple does not have minor children together, then the marriage is dissolved after a written application from the couple in the registry office, without a trial.In the same way, a marriage is dissolved if one spouse is convicted by a court, receiving a prison term of more than 3 years, if one spouse goes missing or is declared incompetent.

Under the same conditions, both spouses - or one of them - can file for divorce. via the State Services website.

In all other cases, divorce is carried out through a judicial procedure (according to the Family Code of the Russian Federation, Article 18).

If only one spouse requests a divorce , and the property jointly acquired by the couple does not exceed the value of 100 thousand rubles, if one spouse does not come to the registry office without agreeing to a divorce, then such marriages are dissolved through a magistrate (according to the Family Code of the Russian Federation, articles 21-23).
If the couple already has minor children , or in cases where the property of the spouses exceeds 100 thousand rubles in value, divorce occurs through a procedure in the district court (according to the Family Code of the Russian Federation, articles 21-23). All property or other disputes of divorcing spouses are considered only in court (according to the Family Code of the Russian Federation, Article 18).

The termination procedure itself begins with the filing of a joint statements spouses — or with an application from one spouse. This application must be submitted to the civil registry office or to the magistrate's court, district court located at the place of passport registration (registration) of the defendant.

If your spouse is pregnant , or if a woman has a child under 1 year of age, the court will not accept an application for divorce from her spouse (according to the Family Code of the Russian Federation, Article 17). The spouse can submit her application to the court for divorce (dissolution of marriage) at any time, without restrictions.
Usually, Divorce proceedings are open to the public . In some cases, when the court will consider intimate aspects of the lives of spouses, court sessions may be closed.

If disputes between former spouses about children or jointly acquired property arise during the court process, the judicial divorce process can last from 4 to 6 months.

Stages of the divorce procedure

Collection of documents necessary for the divorce procedure.
Direct submission of a correctly drawn up application for divorce (dissolution of marriage), the necessary documents to the registry office or to the court.
The presence of the plaintiff at the court hearing; notification of the defendant about each court hearing.

Documents required for divorce

Application to the registry office or court . The application of spouses or one spouse is submitted only in writing (using a special form). In this application, the spouses must confirm that they voluntarily agree to dissolve this marriage, and also that they do not have minor children (common).

IN statement of claim, which is submitted to the registry office, must be indicated:

If the defendant spouse is not a citizen of the Russian Federation, or does not have a place of residence in Russia, his place of residence is unknown, then the plaintiff submits a statement of claim to the court located at the place of the defendant’s last residence in Russia, or at the place where the defendant’s property is located . Attached to the plaintiff's claim for divorce are the spouses' passports, their copies, and a marriage document (marriage certificate of the spouses).

In some cases, the court may require additional documents - the plaintiff and defendant will be notified of this in court.

What to do if the defendant spouse does not appear in court?

If the respondent spouse does not come to the scheduled court hearings in the divorce proceedings, then It is also possible for the plaintiff to obtain a divorce - even if the spouses have minor children:

If the defendant cannot, for his own reasons, attend this court hearing dedicated to the divorce proceedings, he has the right introduce a representative in your place by registering a power of attorney with a notary. The plaintiff has exactly the same right to a representative in court.
If the defendant has valid reasons why he cannot appear at one of the court hearings dedicated to the divorce proceedings, he must submit a corresponding application to the court, then the divorce process will be postponed for some time.
If the defendant does not specifically come to court hearings according to the commenced divorce proceedings, the dissolution of the marriage will take place without his presence at this divorce court hearing.
If the defendant had good reasons for not coming to the court hearing, he could not inform the court about them in time, but it took place in his absence, divorcing the marriage, then subsequently the respondent spouse may apply to have this court decision quashed . The spouse can submit this application within a week (seven days) from the day on which he was given a copy of the court decision on the already completed divorce. The court decision on the completed divorce can also be appealed in cassation.
If the respondent spouse does not show up for the scheduled divorce court hearings, The divorce process may increase in time by another 1 month .

How can a plaintiff file for divorce if the defendant spouse is opposed to divorce?

Often the divorce procedure becomes very a difficult test for both ex-spouses , and for their environment. Divorce is almost always accompanied by property disputes or disputes about children.

If the defendant is against divorce , it is not at all necessary for him to avoid participating in court hearings, because he can also announce your disagreement with the divorce , asking to determine a time limit for reconciliation of the spouses. Ultimately, the decision remains with the judge - if he is convinced of the sincerity of the desire to reconcile, the further process may be postponed for another period (maximum 3 months).
If the plaintiff insists on divorce arguing their reluctance to put up with the defendant, this period may not be so long. The spouse is the defendant and after this he can again file a petition with the court for reconciliation of the parties.
If the spouse is the defendant against divorce , therefore, he specifically, deliberately avoids attending court hearings, the judge can make a divorce decision in absentia at the third meeting.

What should a woman do if her husband is the defendant against divorce?

First of all, you need to draw up a competent statement of claim - in this case, it is better to turn to a qualified lawyer for help.

Property disputes and disputes about children are best resolved in one judicial divorce process - these claims must be filed simultaneously with the application for divorce.

To a woman necessary pay the state divorce fee yourself , without waiting for your spouse to pay.
The court hearing is scheduled approximately one month after the date the plaintiff submits the application . The plaintiff must be present at the hearing, answer the judge’s questions, and give reasons for his desire to get a divorce. In the absence of additional circumstances, the judge may make a decision on divorce at the same meeting. If such circumstances do arise, the judge may decide to give the spouses time for reconciliation.
For the spouse to pay alimony , the plaintiff must submit to the court a certificate of his income. If the wife did not work during the years of marriage, taking care of the household, or if she is on maternity leave, does not work and is caring for a small child, she can demand alimony from the defendant for her maintenance.
If anyone from already ex-spouses I do not agree with the decision of the magistrate or district court , then within ten days after the issuance of the divorce certificate, he can file a lawsuit to cancel this decision and reconsider the divorce case.

For obtaining a divorce certificate (divorce), each of the former spouses must submit to the registry office located at the place of passport registration, or at the place of registration of this marriage, a passport and a court decision.

Divorce methods

There are only two authorities that can divorce a married couple:

registration authority

At the same time, the second option is not always clear-cut. There are two types of courts: district and world. Where to apply depends on whether there are disputes.

The global executor handles cases without disputes regarding children and property worth less than 50 thousand rubles. In all other situations, the district authority decides.

Couples who have no disputes and are divorced through the registration authority are divorced. But, there are exceptions. The dissolution of the marriage relationship will be carried out by the registering authority even with the presence of offspring, if one spouse:

incapacitated person
is under arrest for a total term of more than three years
missing

Thus, you should choose the authority for divorce depending on each situation individually.

Now you have the opportunity to submit an application to the appropriate authority:

personally
through a proxy
by mail
via the Internet

The applicant, at his own discretion, has the right to choose the option of sending documentation to the required authority. But, if he is not present in person, he will have to certify all documentation. In addition, when filing an application with the court, personal presence is recommended. This will help quickly resolve many issues and reduce the start time of the procedure.

Required Documentation

In case of divorce by mutual consent and in the absence of offspring, the divorce goes through the registry office. This requires documentation:

application of the established form
ID cards
registration certificate
duty payment receipt

When one spouse cannot appear for a divorce, he has the right to write a statement and have it certified by a notary. Then one party will be enough for a divorce.

If the divorce goes through the court, only one party files. The following documentation package must be attached to it:

identification
Marriage certificate
children's birth certificates
certificate of income if the issue of alimony is being resolved
real estate documents in the event of property disputes
duty payment receipt

Additionally, the judge may request additional documentation at his discretion as questions arise. Even with a divorce through the court, the former spouses will have to apply to the registry office for a divorce certificate. Then they will need to add a resolution to the above documentation package.

The procedure for divorce through the registry office

The easiest way to divorce is through the registration authority. The conditions for its holding are:

absence of common offspring under eighteen years of age
no disputes about joint property
if there is a mutual desire for divorce
if one of the parties is missing, declared incompetent, or is in prison for more than three years

The divorce procedure itself is carried out at the place of registration of the relationship or at the place of registration of the man and woman.

When all the documentation has been collected, the registration authority specialist accepts it. After thirty days, the former spouses can come for a divorce certificate.

The procedure for divorce through the court

If a married couple does not meet the conditions for divorce through the registry office, they are divorced by the court on the basis of an application from one of the spouses. The desire of the other party does not matter here. Sooner or later, the couple will still be divorced, even if one of the spouses is categorically against it.

Lack of desire can only slow down the process. One of the parties has the right to request the possibility of being given time for reconciliation. But it cannot be more than three months. The exception only applies to situations in which a woman is pregnant or has a child under one year of age. In this case, the man has no right to file a claim without her consent.

The divorce procedure through the court can last from one to six months, depending on the situation.

When there is an agreement between the spouses, they will be divorced within a month, at the first court hearing.

But, if there are disputes and proceedings between a man and a woman, the judge will postpone the hearing and even more than once.

He will request additional documentation to make the correct decision. The following issues can be resolved through the court in parallel with the divorce:

place of residence of offspring
distribution of property rights
establishing the amount of child support, and sometimes also for the mother

The claim for divorce is filed at the place of residence of the defendant. After the final decision has been made and it has entered into force, you can apply to the registry office for a divorce certificate. If the issue of payment was considered, the resolution must be submitted to the bailiffs in order to be able to withhold it. When dividing property, you will have to additionally contact the registration authorities to re-register it.

Quite often, spouses express a desire to divide property during a divorce. It is worth understanding what this includes:

movable and immovable property
debts

If the question arises of how to properly divorce his wife and divide property, a man should learn about the main points that are enshrined in law.

When there is no marriage contract, the property is divided according to the law in equal shares. At the same time, it does not matter who it is recorded on. The main criterion is its acquisition during marriage. Here it does not matter who the child stays with, although the greater need for individual items for the spouse and offspring is taken into account.

Since using one house, cottage and car after a divorce is difficult, it is better to independently agree on the transfer of ownership in advance.

Property not subject to division:

purchased before marriage
received as a gift

inherited

It is possible to divide property unevenly if the other party is not against such actions. Quite often, a man leaves an apartment to his wife and children as a payment for future alimony.

All credits and loans are also divided equally. If one of the spouses took on all the loans, then the issue of division will be quite complicated. In most cases, the judge invites the party on whom the loans are to pay off the debt, and the other party to file a claim for payment of half the amount.

When there is no agreement between a man and a woman, the divorce procedure becomes much more complicated and delayed. You may also have to spend more money on it. After all, when a person cannot cope on his own, he attracts a lawyer to the case, and his services are far from free.

Thus, there are two options for dividing joint property:

Resolving an issue without conflict is an agreement between spouses. When the parties have reached a common opinion, they draw up an appropriate agreement, which specifies the size of the share of each party. It is recommended that this document be certified by a notary. Otherwise it will not have legal force.
Resolving the issue through the courts. If an agreement is not reached, one of the spouses files a lawsuit demanding division of property. You can do this immediately with the divorce process or submit an application later separately. But, it is important not to miss the statute of limitations.

It is impossible to divide the indivisible, therefore, in most cases, a decision is made that one party takes the item, and the second receives compensation for its share.

Correct Behavior

Sometimes men are interested in how to properly divorce their wife if they have children. In order for the divorce to proceed quickly and without major trauma, it is recommended to adhere to competent behavior.

It is better to discuss all issues regarding alimony and child support in advance, even before the start of the procedure. To do this, many spouses draw up a special agreement, which contains all the clauses containing information on the following points:

accommodation
upbringing
possibility of meetings
amount of alimony and the like

To speed up the process, you need to have this document certified by a notary and ensure his presence at meetings. In such cases, the divorce procedure proceeds quite quickly.

During a divorce, a man has the right to insist that his offspring stay with him. He can justify his desires as follows:

good financial situation
personal attachment to a child
improper parenting of the mother

But, basically, children always stay with their mother. Then the court has the right to establish the procedure for the child’s communication with his father and participation in the educational process.
