Divorce is the termination of family relations between living spouses if the continuation of their life together is impossible. To dissolve a family union through the court, one of the parties to the marriage relationship is required to file a corresponding statement of claim.
First you need to choose the right jurisdiction - i.e. make the right choice between the magistrate and district courts. After this, you will need to pay the state fee for the claim.
According to statistics, a greater number of divorces are carried out in courts , since family relationships are often associated with the presence of children in couples, as well as disputes over the ownership of property.
In what cases is a marriage dissolved in court?
The grounds for divorce in court are regulated by Art. 21 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation. These include:
- disagreement with the divorce of one of the spouses, even if the couple does not have common children and a dispute over property;
- a common minor child in the family , even in the absence of a controversial issue about his further residence, maintenance, or order of communication;
- resolving the issue of division of jointly acquired movable and immovable property, regardless of its volume and value.
The presence of the above grounds requires one of the parties to file a claim in court for divorce .
It should be noted that in the absence of the consent of a pregnant wife or a spouse raising a joint child under one year of age, the court will not accept a claim for divorce from her husband, since the legislation imposes a legal restriction on the consideration of such a case (Article 17 of the RF IC).
In such a situation, the applicant spouse must wait until the child reaches one year of age and re-file the claim in court if the desire to divorce remains valid.
How to determine the jurisdiction of a claim for divorce?
As noted above, “jurisdiction” refers to the determination of the court to which a particular case is to be considered.
Divorce cases can be heard in two courts :
- IN global court (Article 23 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation), if:
- the couple has no children and does not share joint property, but one of the spouses does not agree with the divorce;
- the family has common children and property, but there is no controversial issue about them;
- the controversial issue of property, the value of which does not exceed 50,000 rubles, is resolved;
- it is necessary to establish alimony obligations (Article 80 of the RF IC).
- The claim is submitted to district (regional, city) court when:
- simultaneously with the divorce, the property of the spouses is divided in a value exceeding 50,000 rubles;
- In addition to divorce, there are controversial issues regarding minor children:
- determining the child’s place of residence after the parents’ divorce (with the father or mother, according to Article 65 of the RF IC);
- determining a schedule of communication with a child by a parent living separately (Article 66 of the RF IC) and so on.
If the plaintiff files an application, ignoring the rules of jurisdiction of the claim, it will be returned to the applicant without consideration until the identified violation is eliminated.

It should also be noted that a claim for divorce is endowed with the rule of alternative jurisdiction : the applicant has the right to file a claim in the magistrate or district court both at his place of residence and at the place of residence of the defendant, if the plaintiff’s health does not allow him to come to court at his place of residence the defendant, as well as if children live with him (part 4 of article 29 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation).
How to correctly draw up a statement of claim to the court for divorce (sample)

How much is the state fee for divorce in 2023 through the court?
Correct determination of the amount of the state fee will help the plaintiff avoid leaving the statement of claim without progress until the payment violation is eliminated.
The amount of the state duty directly depends on what claim the plaintiff makes to the court:
- When considering a divorce that does not involve division of property, the cost of the state fee is 600 rubles. (clause 5, part 1, article 333.19 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
- If the claim raises the question of ownership of the spouses’ property, the fee is paid separately:
- for divorce - 600 rubles;
- for division of property - according to the value of the property being divided (clause 12, part 1, article 333.20 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
At the same time, the state duty for the division of property at its minimum reaches 400 rubles, and at its maximum it will cost the plaintiff 60,000 rubles. (but not more).
When calculating the correct amount of state duty, the plaintiff should refer to clause 1, part 1, art. 333.19 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which approves the payment procedure depending on the valuation of the divisible property (in other words, the “claim price”):
Cost of claim (RUB)State duty amountup to 20,000 | 4% of the cost of the claim is paid, but not less than 400 rubles. |
from 20,001 to 100 thousand | 800 rubles + 3% if the amount is over 20,000 |
from 100,001 to 200 thousand | 3,200 rubles + 2% of the amount exceeding 100 thousand. |
from 200,001 to 1 million | 5,200 rubles + 1% if the cost of the claim is over 200 thousand. |
more than 1 million | 13,200 rubles + 0.5% of the amount exceeding 1 million, but not more than 60,000 |
Naturally, the amount of the fee for property division may turn out to be a serious investment for the plaintiff, which is why tax legislation provides for the possibility of installments of the amount required to be paid in accordance with Art. 333.41 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. When granting a deferment (installment plan) of the state duty, interest on it is not accrued for the entire period.
It should be borne in mind that after the court decision enters into force, each spouse will need to obtain their own copy of the divorce certificate. Each party will be required to pay a fee to the registry office equal to 650 rubles.

When writing a statement of claim for divorce and division of property in 2023, compliance with the rules and regulations set out in the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation is required.
In addition, the plaintiff needs to familiarize himself with the articles of the RF IC on the common property of spouses, and with a number of articles of the RF Tax Code to calculate the state duty. Also, during the court hearing, certain federal laws and regulations may be required.
These may be Federal Laws on military mortgages or maternity capital, as well as the charters of credit institutions.
How to draw up a claim correctly
Drawing up a statement of claim for divorce and division of joint property, like any important document, is subject to the rules of office work. This means that when writing text you must adhere to a business style and not use profanity or colloquial expressions. It is advisable to consult a lawyer to write it correctly.
First of all, spouses need to decide whether they want to combine two procedures when considering one claim. A husband and wife have the right to divorce not only by court decision, but also through the registry office. True, to implement this option, they should not have minor children together and it is necessary that both agree to the divorce.
When filing an application for divorce and division of property in 2023, you must also take into account that the process itself will take at least three months. Plus, it will take another 30 days for the court decision to enter into legal force. Those. the minimum period is four months. Therefore, if necessary, a number of couples can file separate claims for divorce and separation.
If, nevertheless, one of the spouses or both decided to combine the issues of divorce with the establishment of property rights, then you need to determine for yourself which method of division of property their situation falls under. Perhaps a prenuptial agreement or separation agreement was drawn up between the husband and wife. Then all property or a certain part of it will be divided between the spouses according to these documents.
How should property be divided? If there are any controversial issues, they should be identified in advance and the evidence base prepared. For example, one of the spouses has their own real estate, but the second believes that he has the right to claim part of it.
This means that all documents that can confirm the legitimacy of the plaintiff’s claims should be established.
- Then you should decide on the court to which the claim for divorce and division of property will be filed.
- To draw up a claim, the plaintiff must thoroughly identify all the property that must be subject to division in order to indicate them in the claim.
To clearly and correctly compose the text, you need to determine the composition of the claim, its cost and your own requirements.
If the price range for divisible property causes a dispute between spouses, then the plaintiff will have to contact independent appraisers to determine the value, who will conduct an examination and draw up an act determining the average cost of the divisible property.
When assessing one’s own claims, indicating in the claim what the plaintiff wants to receive as property and what to leave to the spouse, one should take into account the principle of equality of shares. This is what most judges adhere to, because... according to Art. 38 of the RF IC, spouses have equal rights when dividing joint property.
It should also be understood that not all claims can be met and, perhaps, the judge will side with the defendant when making a decision. For example, if a couple shares a car and the plaintiff does not have a driver’s license, then the car will go to the defendant, etc.
If we are talking about the division of real estate in which a married couple lives, then the court will almost certainly determine the shares in the apartment and will not make a decision on eviction. Actual partition in such a situation occurs, but it is rare.
Sample statement of claim for divorce and division of marital property
If a citizen has to draw up a statement of claim on his own, he must first become familiar with the general requirements for claims. They are set out in Art. 131-132 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation.

Filling rules
A claim for divorce and division of property in 2023 is drawn up according to the general rules defined for civil disputes. This means that the document must contain the following information:
- the name of the court to which the application is submitted and its address;
- Title of the document;
- basic passport data of the plaintiff and defendant (full name, addresses of residence and permanent registration, series, number and date of issue);
- basic information about all parties involved in the process. These may be the couple's minor children, as well as a judicial representative. Here you should also enter your passport details, and if you don’t have one, your birth certificate;
- the cost of the claim. It is made up of the sum of all the values of the property being divided. The calculation must be made, because... the value received determines the amount of the state duty and the distribution of shares between spouses;
- the amount of the state duty paid;
- information about the marriage (date and place of registration);
- information about the defendant’s consent to divorce. In the absence of this, a general reason should be presented why the plaintiff does not want to continue the marital relationship. There is no need to give a detailed description. Only a couple of general statements are needed;
- determination of the place of future residence of minor children and an indication of the presence or absence of agreement on this issue with the defendant;
- a list of joint property that is subject to division (each object should be identified);
- an indication of what the plaintiff sees as an infringement of his property rights;
- general information about personal property that belongs to the husband, wife and their children and is not subject to division;
- data on existing general accounts payable (when the loan was taken out, the balance of the debt, the payment period) indicating the bank details and links to agreements with the financial institution;
- a desirable property division scheme with a specific indication of all property assets that should go to the plaintiff and defendant. The amount of monetary compensation, if any, with preliminary calculation;
- references to legislative and regulatory acts that can confirm the validity of the plaintiff’s claims;
- a list of all required documents attached to the application;
- the date the claim was submitted to the court and the signature of the submitter with a transcript.
If necessary, the text of the claim can be supplemented by the plaintiff’s request for alimony if it is assumed that after the divorce they will continue to live with him or he himself falls into the category of citizens who have the right to receive alimony payments.
Required documents
To file any claim, there is a basic set of documents that are required for the application to be accepted for consideration. If we are talking about divorce and division of property, then the following package will be required (we are talking about copies):
- the application itself with information about the plaintiff and defendant in the amount of 3 pieces;
- general passports. From the plaintiff it is obligatory, from the defendant it is desirable;
- a certificate confirming that the couple is married;
- civil documents of minor children (passports if they are already 14 years old, and birth certificates if they have not reached this age);
- documents confirming ownership of divisible property. These could be contracts of purchase and sale, donation, inheritance, extracts from the Unified State Register, Unified State Register of Legal Entities and other registering authorities;
- acts on assessment examinations carried out (if any);
- agreements with banks on outstanding loans along with statements of payments made.
Depending on the nature of the claims, the list of documents submitted may expand. So, you may need:
- certificates of income from the place of work and/or from the Tax Office;
- medical certificates of health;
- payment documents and bank statements that can confirm the joint nature of investments in the disputed property.
The list is allowed to be supplemented with any documents if the plaintiff believes that they can help in making a court decision on the division of the spouses’ property.
Where to apply
The place where the application is filed depends directly on the cost of the claim. If it falls within the limits of 50 thousand rubles, then you must go to the magistrate’s court. Divorce, if it is not related to disputes regarding the future residence of children, is also within his competence.
If the price of the joint property to be divided turns out to be higher than the specified value, then the claim must be filed in the district or city court.
You should choose the institution that is located at the defendant’s place of residence. Sometimes this option is not acceptable. This means that you need to contact the court in the area where the main part of the property is located (most often, this is an apartment).
The claim can be filed either by the applicant himself or by his legal representative (with a notarized power of attorney).
The law provides for the following methods of filing a claim:
- When directly contacting the court office or personally to the judge.
- By mail. You need to issue a registered letter with notification and, in addition to the claim, enclose in it the entire set of required documentation.
State duty
Filing a claim is half the battle. It cannot be submitted without calculating and paying the state fee. The amount of the state duty is not a constant amount in this case. The plaintiff himself will have to calculate it.
To do this correctly, you need to read Art. 333.19 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. It states that the amount will depend on the value of the claim if we are talking about establishing a share in jointly acquired property.
But no matter how it turns out, its size should not be less than 400 rubles. and more than 60 thousand rubles.
Amount of state duty when dividing property between spouses.
The claim for divorce is estimated at 600 rubles. To get the final cost you will need to add both amounts. It is not necessary to underestimate the cost of the claim to reduce the final figure. In any case, the judge will recalculate and if inaccuracies are discovered, the consideration of the case will be suspended.
Judicial practice and court decision on the claim
The practice of making court decisions on issues related to partition and divorce is extensive. But it rarely deviates from the principle of equality of shares.
Example: citizen R.M. Cherkasova filed a claim with the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow.
In it, the woman insisted on dissolving the marriage with her husband and dividing the jointly acquired property.
A two-room apartment and a Peugeot car, issued on credit, for which the spouses had to pay another 250 thousand rubles, were designated as common property. debt.
The judge reviewed the terms of the case and made a decision, having previously agreed upon it with representatives of the bank where the loan was issued. In accordance with it, both spouses received equal shares in the apartment.
The remaining debt on the loan was transferred to the husband, with the subsequent registration of the car as his personal property. The man was ordered to pay his ex-wife monetary compensation in the amount of 320 thousand rubles.
(half the amount paid on the loan).
Divorce and division of jointly acquired property in 2023 must be taken very seriously. It is advisable to obtain preliminary legal advice on drawing up a statement of claim.

If the plaintiff supports his demands, and the defendant is not against the divorce, then the court will make a decision on that day to satisfy the claim.
If the husband or wife express disagreement or doubt about the possibility of dissolving the marriage, the court will most likely give time for reconciliation. The reconciliation period is up to 3 months.

Is it worth combining a claim for divorce with other claims?
In a civil case, it is possible to combine homogeneous claims against one defendant in one statement of claim (Article 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation). In relation to divorce, this means that in one statement of claim you can ask the court to dissolve the marriage and collect alimony, divide the property of the spouses, or determine the place of residence of the child.
However, we do not recommend combining divorce claims with others, as this will delay the consideration of any of the issues. For example, it is easier to file a separate statement of claim for divorce and an application for a court order for alimony. While the divorce case is still being prepared, alimony will already be collected.

My husband and I separated a long time ago, we haven’t lived together for many years, I don’t know where he is. How to get a divorce in this case?
If the place of residence of the second spouse is unknown, divorce is carried out through the court.
First, try to search for your spouse, visit his last place of residence, talk with neighbors, mutual acquaintances, and his relatives to find some information.
If the search does not bring results, file a claim for divorce at the last known place of registration of the defendant at the place of residence. Please note that the court will request information about the defendant’s registration from the passport office.
The husband is against divorce, is it possible to divorce in this case without his consent?

After this, if reconciliation does not take place, the court will dissolve the marriage.
I don’t want to go to court, I don’t want to see my wife anymore, how can I get a divorce without my presence?
Presence at a court hearing is a right, not a duty, of a citizen. When filing a statement of claim, you can file an application to consider the case in the absence of the plaintiff. After this, all that remains is to receive the summons in a timely manner and wait for the result.
Is it possible to make additional demands when filing a claim for divorce?

For example, on the collection of alimony for the maintenance of children, on the collection of alimony for the maintenance of a spouse, on determining the place of residence of children, on participation in raising children, on the division of jointly acquired property.
It should be taken into account that the combination of several claims may lead to a change in the jurisdiction of the dispute and will increase the time frame for resolving the case.
Based on our experience, it is better to file a claim for divorce separately. This will reduce the time it takes to resolve a case and will allow you to concentrate on a specific problem in each case without missing important circumstances.

In this case, the statement of claim must additionally indicate that the defendant is serving his sentence, when he was convicted and where he is being held.
How are documents certified if a claim for divorce is filed in another city and the plaintiff’s personal participation in the court hearing is impossible?
In general, photocopies of all documents can be attached to the statement of claim. The court will certify their authenticity at a court hearing when the plaintiff brings the originals.
