The lawyer is always in touch

International families in Russia often face complex challenges involving multiple countries, languages, and legal systems. As a family lawyer specializing in cases for foreigners, I advise and represent foreign nationals and mixed families on Russian family law matters.
If you are looking for a divorce lawyer in Russia or an English-speaking family lawyer in Moscow, you need someone who can explain both the legal framework and practical realities clearly in English.

Divorcing a foreign spouse can raise questions such as:

• which country’s court has jurisdiction;
• Which law governs the marriage and property;
• How to recognize a foreign divorce judgment in Russia, or a Russian judgment abroad.

I assist with:

• Divorce proceedings in Russian courts;
• Drafting claims and agreements;
• Explaining how Russian law treats marital property and debts;
• Managing the foreign aspects of your case.

Children are often the most important and sensitive part of family disputes. As a child custody lawyer for foreign nationals in Russia, I help parents understand:

• How Russian courts approach custody and place of residence of children;
• How parenting (visitation) and communication can be arranged;
• What factors may influence the court’s decision;
• How to present your position in a clear and effective way.

In Russian law, the primary focus is always the best interests of the child. While I cannot guarantee a specific outcome, I help you prepare your case and effectively represent your position in court.

When a marriage ends, questions often arise about housing, savings, business interests, and other assets. I provide advice and representation in:

• Division of property acquired during the marriage;
• Recognition and enforcement of marital agreements, if any;
• Child financial support ("alimony") matters;
• Cross‑border issues when assets are located in different countries.

For many foreign clients, working with a family lawyer who understands the international context is essential.

Family disputes are always emotionally challenging, and when they occur in a foreign country, they may become even more stressful. Working with an English-speaking family lawyer in Russia allows you to

• Clearly understand your rights and obligations;
• Make informed decisions rather than acting under pressure;
• Communicate your position effectively in a Russian court;
• Prevent avoidable procedural mistakes.
