Which court should I go to? Divorce cases are handled by magistrates and district court judges.
In all other cases, the statement of claim is submitted to the district court.
In the Industrial District of Orenburg, the section dedicated to justices of the peace is located in the upper right corner.
In the section “Territorial jurisdiction” all addresses of the district are indicated - you can download a file with the division of addresses by justices of the peace
The original documents remain with the plaintiff and must be shown to the judge at the first court hearing.
How to draw up a statement of claim. The claim must contain information required by civil procedural law. But nothing depends on how and in what order they will be located.
The statement of claim must be signed. It is taken to the office of the desired court or sent by mail.

The divorce process has its own order and subtleties.
Features of divorce through the court. The court protects the interests of those who cannot do this themselves: the spouse who is not given a divorce, and children who may suffer from the divorce. If there is no mutual agreement, the court will decide for everyone. That's a plus.
Do I need to go to the registry office later? If the spouses do not plan to enter into a new marriage or receive documents for which the composition of the family is important, then it is not necessary to go to the registry office after a court decision.
Alimony. The collection of child support has nothing to do with the divorce. You can ask for alimony along with your divorce request, before and after the divorce—at any time. Children's property rights are not related to whether their parents are married or no longer married.
If you need a divorce quickly, it is better to first demand a simple divorce. If you want to save time on court hearings and money on lawyers, you should file all your claims in one case. But it is better to consider complex situations with the division of property in a separate dispute: this way the judge will pay more attention to details, and the parties will not forget about any important documents.
The duration of a divorce through the court is influenced by disagreements between parents regarding the place of residence of their children.
In practice this is not the case. Everything can be decided in one meeting. If there is a divorce without children and property, the divorce will be resolved in one or two meetings, with one or two weeks between them. Or three months - for reconciliation if the second spouse does not agree. A divorce without children, but with division of property, can last for many months.
The divorce trial takes place according to the norms of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.
Divorce by common consent. Ideal situation: at the preliminary court hearing, the wife demanded a divorce, the husband agreed, there were no children or property. The judge may suggest moving straight to the main hearing and making a decision on divorce on the same day.
Divorce without mutual consent means that the plaintiff is making claims that the defendant will deny.
If no time is set for reconciliation between the spouses, the divorce may be completed in two sessions. The process is delayed if you need to order examinations of the value of property, listen to witnesses and invite guardianship and trusteeship specialists.
If the child is over 10 years old, the court also hears his opinion.
Divorce if there is a prenuptial agreement. Having a prenuptial agreement means that the husband and wife have agreed in advance how they will divide property. If no one challenges this agreement, the legal process will go faster.
If the party has not arrived and has not been notified of the place, date and time of the hearing of the divorce case, the court hearing is postponed. That is why it is necessary to indicate in the statement of claim all known contacts of the spouses.
When is auto divorce possible? There is no such term. But if by autodivorce we mean a court proceeding, the consequence of which will be the automatic termination of a marriage, then it is possible after one of the spouses is recognized as dead.
While not in Russia, you can divorce a foreigner:
- according to the laws of the country of location;
- at the Russian consulate according to the laws of the Russian Federation;
- by sending documents to the Russian court.
If the defendant ignores the court proceedings , but is notified of them, this will not prevent the divorce.
If the plaintiff does not come to court , this is also not a hindrance: you can send a representative to the hearing or send a petition to postpone the court hearing.
Having a spouse go missing during divorce proceedings can prolong the case. They will try to notify him at a known address, and then, most likely, they will consider the case without him - he will be considered notified of the proceedings.
If the claim is not accepted , this is usually due to non-payment of state fees, unfounded demands or appeal to the wrong court.
When the court returns the statement of claim or leaves it without consideration, it issues a ruling indicating the shortcomings of the claim. These shortcomings must be eliminated - then the court will accept the claim.
The loss of a marriage certificate does not affect the rights and obligations of the spouses. You can obtain a second certificate from the registry office or petition the court itself to send a request for marriage to the registry office.
The cost of legal services is determined by the lawyers themselves who provide such services. They vary depending on the region and the circumstances of the case. T—J already had a detailed article about choosing a lawyer.
Claims are denied when they are unfounded or violate the rights of others.
- For a divorce, the desire of one spouse is sufficient. Exception: for divorce, the consent of a pregnant wife or a wife who gave birth to a child less than a year ago is required.
- If the spouses do not have minor children and both agree, you can get a divorce in the registry office. In other cases, you need to go to court.
- If there are no disputes about children or property worth more than 50 thousand rubles, the magistrate will decide. If there are such disputes, you need to get a divorce in a district or city court.
- An application to the court for divorce can be submitted via the Internet - you will need to register with government services.
- The term for divorce through the court is from a month to a year. Depends on the number of disagreements between spouses and the workload of the court in which the case is being heard.

How to file for divorce?
There are two ways to terminate official relations:
One of the first questions when divorcing a marriage is how to file for divorce.
Peculiarities of administrative divorce - through the Civil Registry Office (ZAGS)
- If we consider these options from a legal point of view, then the first one is more convenient - it involves less paperwork. But, unfortunately, you can’t always use it, but only if:
- ● both you and your spouse agree to the divorce;
- ● you and your husband/wife do not have a single common child under the age of 18 (both born and adopted);
- ● there are no conflicts in the family regarding the issue of who will receive jointly acquired real estate and movable property.
- True, there is one “but”: you can get an administrative divorce without the consent of your spouse. This is possible if:
- ● a person violated Russian legislation, which is why he went to prison for a term of 3 years;
- ● he was declared missing or incapacitated after a court hearing.
- You cannot bring the application to any registry office. Allowed appeal:
- ● which is at the home address of the husband and wife (if they still live together);
- ● which is located at the residence address of either the husband or wife (if they have already separated);
- ● in which the marriage was formalized.
- The application must include information such as last names, first names and patronymics, residential addresses, passport details of both spouses, as well as the reasons for the divorce.
How much will an administrative divorce cost?
In 2023, the state fee for administrative divorce will not increase and will be equal to the same 650 rubles. This is how much money will need to be given to each spouse. 
- This amount will be reduced to 350 rubles if the second spouse is sentenced to three or more years, he is given the status of missing or incapacitated by the judge. In any of these situations, you need to remember that:
- ● the state fee must be paid before going to the registry office, and you must have a receipt confirming this with you;
- ● the state fee can be transferred not only through the cash desk of Sberbank (or another bank), but also through the terminal installed in the registry office;
- ● the bank account number to which funds should be transferred may differ depending on the subject of the Russian Federation (RF); You can find out information on this issue from the registry office employees in your region.
The amount of 650 and 350 rubles already includes the cost of the certificate. In other words, they won't charge you another penny.
How does administrative divorce happen and how long does it take?
The administrative termination procedure in general looks like this:
Comfortable and fast administrative procedure
- You are filing for divorce.
- A civil registry office employee checks all information and, if there are no contradictions with current regulations, issues a corresponding certificate.
You can receive a certificate only in a month. The fact is that the state is aimed at preserving the family, so it gives time to think about the decision made. If after 30 days everything remains unchanged, then the divorce will take place.
Note! You can file for divorce administratively not only at the registry office, but also at the multifunctional center (MFC) and on the official website of the State Services. In the latter case, you will save a lot of time and will not have to stand in long lines.
Features of judicial divorce - through the court
Any legal proceedings are more complicated and, accordingly, longer than interaction with government officials. This rule also applies to divorce cases.
- Divorce in court will require more time and effort
- You will have to file for divorce in court if:
- ● your spouse does not want to go to the registry office to get a divorce;
- ● you and your husband/wife have at least one common child who has not reached the age of majority (it does not matter whether he was born or adopted);
- ● the family cannot agree on the division of jointly acquired property.
The first thing you need to do in order to get a divorce in court is to file a claim. In order to be accepted the first time, you will need to study the rules for drawing up the document.
- Download a sample statement of claim for divorce
- In the video we explain in detail how to fill out a sample statement of claim to the court for divorce
Which court should I file my claim in?
- Either global or regional. Documents must be submitted to the Magistrates' Court if:
- ● you and your spouse were able to find a compromise on who your children under 18 will live with next;
- ● the price of jointly acquired real estate and movable property is no more than 50 thousand rubles.
- And to the district in all other cases.
As with an administrative divorce, a state fee is charged for a judicial divorce. Its amount is 650 rubles for accepting the claim + 650 rubles for issuing a certificate. Those. both the first and second spouse will need to pay 1,300 rubles.
It should also be noted that the state duty can increase several times - up to 60 thousand rubles. Such serious money will need to be paid if the divorce involves the division of jointly acquired property. The exact amount of the state duty is affected by the cost of the apartment, car, etc.
Postponement of divorce
If the judge sees that there is even the slightest chance that people will reconcile and continue to live together, then he will grant a postponement of the divorce. At the same time, he has the right to set any period for reconciliation ranging from 1 to 3 months.
Postponing divorce can save a family
At the same time, spouses have the opportunity to reduce this period if there is evidence that reconciliation is impossible.
Consideration of a divorce case
The date and day of the hearing of the divorce case is determined by the judge. Both parties are informed about them in writing.
With the dissolution of a marriage, a number of significant issues arise that the former spouses will also have to resolve.
When considering a divorce case, several issues are raised, including:
Court decision in divorce case
It is on the basis of a court decision in a divorce case that a marriage is considered dissolved. Without this document it is impossible to obtain a certificate.
The main document is the Court Decision
A court decision in a divorce case does not come into force immediately, but only a month after it is made. It can be appealed to a higher court, and this can be done by any of the former spouses.
You can challenge the very fact of divorce, the place of residence of common minor children, the amount of alimony for the maintenance of common minor children, etc.
- Obtaining a certificate and changing your last name
- You can obtain a certificate based on one of the following documents:
- ● an extract from the court decision on the divorce case (issued within 3 days after the court decision on the divorce case comes into force);
- ● a copy of the court decision in the divorce case.
The surname is changed upon issuance of the certificate (at the request of one of the spouses). After this, you will need to issue a new passport and change other documents.
Unusual situations of divorce
- One of them is divorce without the presence of the second spouse. It will take place if the absence of the second spouse is due to:
- ● the fact that he does not agree to the divorce and thus shows his attitude to the matter;
- ● the fact that he will not be able to come to the registry office or court due to some illness, which is confirmed by an official medical document;
- ● the fact that he was sentenced to three or more years;
- ● with the fact that he was declared missing;
- ● with the fact that he has been assigned the status of someone who has lost legal capacity.
- If the second spouse does not come to the court hearing three times or does not appoint an official representative and there is no good reason for such behavior, supported by documents, then the judge at the last hearing will dissolve the marriage.
Divorce from a citizen of another country
A marriage with a citizen of another country can be dissolved both administratively and judicially. If the second spouse agrees to terminate the official relationship, but cannot appear at the registry office, then it is enough for him to fill out an application and have this document certified by a notary.
To divorce a foreigner in court, it is better to use the help of a lawyer
When divorcing a citizen of another country through the court, difficulties may arise due to the specifics of foreign legislation. He will also need a statement certified by a notary.

How to file for divorce unilaterally: divorce without presence through a registry office or court, with children, sample application | Legal Advice
Last updated March 2023
The breakdown of family relationships does not always occur by mutual consent. Therefore, the law provides for unilateral divorce.
To dissolve a marriage, it is not always necessary for both spouses to be present at the same time. Unilateral divorce is a process that is started without the desire and sometimes even without the knowledge of the other spouse. The termination of a marriage is regulated by Articles 16-26 of the Family Code.
We are talking about a unilateral divorce when one spouse does not want to get a divorce or cannot come to the divorce process.
Many people are puzzled by how to file for divorce unilaterally. There are 2 options:
- Extrajudicial - through the registry office.
- Judicial - through the courts of first instance.
Unilateral divorce through the registry office
- absence of minor children;
- both husband and wife must be present;
- consent of both parties is required.
It is important that all conditions are met simultaneously. As you can see, divorce is allowed with the joint will and appearance of two spouses. However, there are exceptions. A marriage is annulled without the consent and presence of the spouse if he:
- incapacitated;
- sentenced to more than 3 years;
- considered missing.
In these cases, it is necessary to confirm this fact with documentation. And apply to the registry office with the appropriate document. The marriage is dissolved in a month.
Example: A man and a woman got married in 2005 and bought a house as common property. There was 1 child in the family. In 2018, the spouse was sentenced to 4 years for fraud, due to which the victims suffered serious losses.
To pay off his debts, the convict tried to sell his home without his wife’s knowledge. In response, she filed for unilateral divorce with the simultaneous allocation of the child’s share in the common house. The court dissolved the marriage without taking into account the opinion of the convicted person.
The wife's demands were fully satisfied.
How to submit an application to the registry office
Filing an application for divorce is carried out in 2 ways:
- Personal appeal. That is, come directly to the registry office.
- Through the Multifunctional Center. You need to go there with all the documents. After 30 days, a divorce certificate is issued.
You can also apply online. To do this you need:
- register on the State Services portal;
- choose a divorce service, set a date;
- fill out an application and upload a scan of your passport;
- pay the state fee and print a receipt.
Next, you need to wait for an answer when you can come to the registry office to sign the application. Have all documents with you. The procedure takes no more than 30 days.
In addition to your passport, application and state fees, upon termination, depending on the situation, you must submit additional documents:
- A court decision declaring the second spouse incompetent (if the marriage is terminated on the basis of incapacity);
- A court decision on the fact of a missing spouse (if the spouse has been absent for more than a year);
- The court's verdict on the imprisonment of the second spouse and information about the place where the sentence will be served (if the sentence is 3 years or more, the suspended sentence is not taken into account).
Divorce through court
A unilateral filing for divorce through the court occurs when:
- there are minor children in the family;
- one of the parties categorically does not want to get a divorce.
It is better not to bring the divorce to court. It is recommended to do everything possible to peacefully resolve a family dispute. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time, effort and money, because a divorce sometimes drags on for months, and a court decision may turn out to be inconvenient for two spouses at once.
The claim can be filed at the place of residence of the defendant. The exceptions are the presence of minor children or illness of the plaintiff. In such cases, the plaintiff has the right to file an application at his place of residence.
Divorce cases can be heard by a magistrate or a district court.
Unilateral dissolution of a marriage with children occurs in a magistrate's court in the absence of a dispute regarding them. The wife has the right to file a claim in any situation, but with regards to the husband there are some restrictions:
- wife's pregnancy;
- having a common child who is under 1 year old.
Example : After three years of marriage, a husband decided to divorce his wife. The wife spoke out against termination, since they have a child who is only 11 months old. In addition, at the court hearing it turned out that the wife was two months pregnant. Based on Art. 17 of the RF IC, the plaintiff’s claim was rejected.
The magistrate may try to try on the spouses. Basically, this happens when one spouse is against the divorce. A period of up to 3 months is allotted. If during this time the spouses do not reconcile, then the judge considers the case on its merits and makes a decision on divorce.
Unilateral divorce in district court
Termination of a marriage at the initiative of one of the parties in the district court occurs in 2 cases:
- when there is a dispute regarding children under the age of majority;
- when dividing common property worth more than 50,000 rubles.
The district (city) court may also set a deadline for reconciliation. If the spouses change their minds about getting a divorce, the court proceedings are terminated. If, nevertheless, one party insists, then the issue of residence and maintenance of children, payment of alimony, and methods of dividing common property is resolved.
After the court decision enters into force, the marriage is considered dissolved. The decision is handed over to the spouses in order to register the fact of divorce in the registry office and obtain certificates of divorce.
Example : A spouse at her place of residence filed for divorce in the district court. The plaintiff in the statement demanded the division of the joint apartment, payment of alimony in favor of their son and determination of his place of residence with his mother.
The husband came only to the second meeting and refused to divorce. The court set a three-month period for reconciliation, which did not produce a positive result. As a result, the court decided to divorce the spouses, leave the son with his mother, and awarded him alimony.
The apartment was divided into equal shares.
Petition for divorce
How to file a divorce? The basis for starting divorce proceedings is a petition for divorce. It must be compiled according to all the rules. The claim must have the following content:
Formal part, where the following information is indicated
- the name of the court where the trial will take place;
- information about the plaintiff (full name, date of birth, place of residence, telephone number);
- similar information about the defendant.
A descriptive part that contains information about:
- date and place of marriage;
- reasons for divorce;
- the defendant's disagreement with the divorce;
- the impossibility of living together in the future as husband and wife;
- presence of joint children under 18 years of age. Their full names and dates of birth must be included.
The final part, where:
- lists the provisions of the law that contain grounds for filing for unilateral divorce;
- all petitions (for alimony, property);
- list of attached documents.
At the end you should put the date, signature and its explanation.
The statement of claim is drawn up in 3 copies. The first one remains with the plaintiff; it must have a mark on it indicating that it was accepted by the court. The second one will be kept on file. The court sends the third copy to the defendant.

Already at the stage of drawing up an application, a lot of questions and nuances may arise that are difficult to understand without proper legal training. Documents for divorce in the presence of minor children. How long does a divorce through court take? The Family Code provides for a minimum period of one month for the court to consider an application for termination of marriage.
However, in modern realities, the divorce process takes an order of magnitude longer, and not so much the divorce through the court takes a long time, but rather the entry into force of the court decision. It is the presence of a lawyer representing your interests that will allow you to meet the minimum divorce deadline and prevent the procedure from being delayed.
Under favorable circumstances, the minimum period for ending a marriage is 2 months, of which:.
Practice shows that in the event of a conflict between spouses regarding the child’s place of residence, psychological examinations to determine the child’s attachment to each of the parents are almost always prescribed.
As a result, divorce in the presence of minor children takes a long time, and there is no need to talk about the colossal load on the nervous system and time costs.
An analysis of court hearings shows that in order to consider a dispute about children, you will have to visit the court on average at least three times, and this is provided that everything is in order with your documents and evidence.
The slightest inaccuracy - and the process is delayed or the risk of losing the case increases significantly. That is why the help of a professional will come in handy.

During this procedure, the court checks whether the spouses have a dispute about children, and if there is an agreement on raising children, whether it will violate the rights of the spouses and children.
The court may also give a three-month period for reconciliation if it considers that the marriage can be saved or if one of the parties decides to insist on this.
It is possible that the court hearing may be postponed to require additional evidence or in the event of the failure of one of the divorcing parties to appear. The judge can prepare a decision within 5 days if, after the hearing, only the operative final part of it was immediately announced.
This is an approximate description of how many stages there are to go through, and how the divorce process proceeds through the magistrates' court. In each individual case, the order in part no.
Don't attach much importance to this! It does not matter at all what the reason is: whether the party comes to court only because he does not want to see the second spouse or not because of disagreement with the termination of the marriage - the court will definitely consider the case.
When a third failure to appear occurs, and it is known for certain that the party was properly notified, the court will consider the case without his participation in absentia, making an appropriate decision.
In the case where you directly want to avoid being present during a divorce for any reason, when there is no desire to waste time on litigation, hire a legal representative whose role will be to conduct the divorce process without your presence.
No future increases, no hidden fees! You can order a full package of services and not even appear in court, which will have a positive effect on your nerves: why once again provoke conflicts with your second spouse?

We remind you once again that an experienced professional lawyer with extensive practice in divorce cases will be able to competently assess the prospects of your case and not only reflect them in the application, but also take on many other responsibilities that fall on your shoulders during divorce proceedings. procedures.
When divorcing a child, the magistrate, first of all, protects his interests and is obliged to scrupulously study the prevailing circumstances. The judge makes a decision about who the son or daughter will stay with, taking into account their age, the nature of their relationship with their parents, and the property status of each of them.
A divorce lawyer, participating in the process on your behalf, will highlight your strengths, which will increase the likelihood of a positive outcome of the case. However, without the woman’s consent, the court will under no circumstances approve the husband’s request for divorce if she is expecting a child or if the family has children under one year of age.
As for alimony, parents can determine the procedure for paying it in a written agreement, certified by a notary and submitted to the court hearing.
If the issue of alimony is brought before a judicial authority, the amount of payments will be determined by the magistrate - taking into account the level of wealth of the parties and other important points, for example, the presence of special needs of the child or the state of his health.
The approximate duration of a divorce through a magistrate is from 2 months: it depends on the nature of the dispute, additional circumstances and the promptness of submitting documents to the court.
To avoid delaying the process, use the help of professionals. An experienced divorce lawyer will file a statement of claim, represent your interests in court, and if you are not satisfied with the court decision, appeal it.

In some cases, spouses cannot divorce their marriage administratively and are faced with the need to go to court. You should know where exactly you need to go, since such cases are considered by both the magistrate court and the district court. The district court is approached only when the case cannot be resolved amicably.

- If one of the parties does not agree to divorce .
- If one of the parties, without actually objecting to the dissolution of the family union , avoids going through the appropriate procedure at the civil registry office (registry office).
A judge must consider claims for the division of joint property, even if the parties have signed an agreement about what will go to each of them when they have minor children. At the same time, this official does not have the right to deprive parental rights, establish paternity or maternity, or make decisions on the adoption of a child.
If, as part of the process, the parties put forward new demands that cannot be resolved during a divorce in the magistrate’s court, then the case is transferred to the court of general jurisdiction (district) for further consideration.

In this case, the meeting is postponed to resume after the time for reconciliation has expired, if the plaintiff continues to insist on ending the marriage (regardless of the defendant’s consent).
