Instructions
Step 1
Divorce in the Civil Registry Office. This method of divorce is considered simplified and, as a rule, is applicable between spouses who have no obligations towards each other, as well as disputes with the participation of a third party. The spouses are not guardians of minor children, and, accordingly, the participation of the guardianship authorities is not required, do not violate the current legislation, and both agree to divorce.
Step 2
To dissolve the marriage, you must, together with your spouse, appear at the civil registry office at the place of registration of one of the parties and fill out an application according to the established model, consisting of two parts, each of which must be completed by one of the parties. The application will need to attach copies of the spouses' passports, as well as a copy of the marriage registration certificate and, accordingly, pay the state fee. After a month, if the refusal of the application does not follow, the spouses must again appear at the registry office and receive a certificate that the marriage has been dissolved.
Step 3
Divorce in court. If you and your spouse have joint children or have property disputes, and only one of the parties initiates a divorce, go to court at the place of your registration to dissolve the marriage. Depending on the situation, the form of the application for divorce also differs.
Step 4
In the event of a divorce by agreement of both parties and in the presence of children, fill out a general application of a certain form, where indicate not only general data, but also the reasons for the divorce, as well as information about the children. Attach to the application: copies of the spouses' passports, a marriage registration certificate, a child's birth certificate and a receipt for payment of the state duty. Also attach an agreement that clarifies the legal rights of parents and defines further rights for the upbringing and provision of children. In some situations, the participation of the guardianship authorities and, of course, the application of the opinion of this authority is possible.
Step 5
If the divorce is initiated only by one of the parties, then a statement of claim is filed from one person about the desire to dissolve the marriage, to which the same package of documents is attached as in the previous case.
