A marriage of two people may not work out in the best way, and in this case the spouses have the right to divorce. To complete the procedure, you need to submit an application to the relevant authorities.
Necessary
- - application for divorce;
- - Marriage certificate;
- - birth certificate of children (if any);
- - passports of the spouses;
- - receipt of payment of state duty.
Instructions
Step 1
Go through all the necessary procedures for collecting documents. Make photocopies of passports, pay the state fee for divorce at a Sberbank branch or in another way. By law, each of the spouses must pay 400 rubles. Keep the payment receipt for yourself and attach it to other documents.
Step 2
Apply for divorce at the registry office in your place of residence, if both spouses have no objection to this. Give the prepared documents to the employees and write the divorce petition. You can find a sample of it on the Internet or ask the registry office employees. At the end of the document, both spouses must leave their signatures. Further, the registry office will prepare a divorce certificate with the state seal, which will enter into force a month after the application is submitted. Once you pick it up, the divorce will be officially finalized.
Step 3
Go to the magistrates' court at your place of residence if you have minor children, or one of the spouses objects to divorce. If you have any disputes about jointly acquired property, you need to go to the district court. Write a statement indicating the divorce proceedings as the reason for going to court, as well as the specific subject of the dispute (children, property, etc.). After the court has reviewed the application, you will be invited to a hearing where a decision will be made in favor of one of the parties. It comes into legal force 10 days after its adoption, if the defendant does not file an appeal.
Step 4
Please note that divorce is also possible unilaterally. More details about this are written in the Family Code of the Russian Federation. Thus, the case is resolved if the defendant did not appear at the trial without a valid reason, was declared legally incompetent, is serving a sentence in places of deprivation of liberty, declared dead or missing, etc. In these situations, an application can be submitted to the registry office at your place of residence unilaterally.
