How to get a divorce without the consent of your wife? How to get divorced quickly? Divorce by mutual consent

When is a divorce carried out through the courts? These cases are indicated in Article 21 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation:

have minor children (common, native or adopted);
the husband or wife refuses to end the marriage;
one of the spouses refuses to submit an application or is not in the registry office.

How does a divorce proceed through the court

Who is eligible for a divorce

Any of the spouses.
Spouse's guardian, if the court found the spouse incompetent.
Prosecutor. He can file a claim when it is required based on the interests of an incapacitated or missing person.

According to the Law "On the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation", the prosecutor can act as a plaintiff in a civil case, since he protects the rights of people.

A husband cannot file a lawsuit without the consent of his wife if she is pregnant or a year has not passed after childbirth, even if the child was born dead or died before the year (Article 17 of the UK).

Such exceptions are made in order to preserve the health and nerves of the mother and child, since legal burdens negatively affect their well-being.

Which judge to contact

Judges are world and federal. Each of the categories is competent to conduct the process only under certain conditions. The difference between the categories is in form and status. With more stringent professional demands on federal judges, these servants of Themis are considered more competent in cases.

If both spouses agree to divorce, they have no disputes about children, you need to go to the justice of the peace. If the spouses are arguing about children or property, then they need to go to the district court with a lawsuit, federal judges deal with cases there (Articles 23-24 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation).

Reasons for divorce in court

Divorce by court is considered possible when the court establishes for sure: the family has broken up, further life together of the spouses is not possible (Article 22 of the UK).

The Family Code does not fix the motives for dissolution of marriage.

Most often among the reasons are: infidelity of spouses, gambling, alcoholism, drug addiction, sexual dissatisfaction, mismatch of vital interests, disagreements on financial issues, non-compliance with the terms of the marriage contract.

Husband / wife against divorce

If couple agree divorce through the court, then the court dissolves such a marriage without finding out the reasons for the divorce (this is stipulated in Article 23 of the UK).

If the plaintiff does not tell the court why rupture of marital relations, the court may temporarily stop the claim. But do not refuse, but only offer reconciliation, and give three months for this (Article 22 of the UK). If the spouses have settled the conflict, the proceedings are stopped. In this case, either of the spouses can again make a claim, then the court returns to the consideration of the case and makes a decision.

If one of the couple against, the plaintiff must describe in detail the reasons that made him go for a divorce, tell why the marriage broke up, what exactly prevents it from being restored. The court, having studied the materials, decides whether the joint life of this couple is possible in the future.

Evidence in such a case can be the committed offenses of the party (ill-treatment, violence, insults):

witnesses (the plaintiff must request that witnesses be called);
written evidence (certificates from the trauma center about beatings, police records) - they are attached to the case.

Divorce in any case will end in a positive decision. The only difference will be timing. If both parties agree, then the divorce will be obtained at the first hearing, if there is no agreement, several meetings will be held.

How to share children and property

Such issues are considered in parallel with the divorce process. During the process, one or both parties may demand from the court and (or) designate with which of the parents the child should remain subsequently, how and to whom the alimony will be paid.

If there is agreement on such issues or the spouses want to resolve these issues later, they can write in the lawsuit that they have no disputes or describe in detail to the court the essence of the agreements reached.

You can read more about the features of divorce with children in.

Reconciliation and rejection of divorce

The defendant has the right to apply for a temporary adjournment of the case in order to enable the husband and wife to save the family. The court meets halfway and usually gives a period to resolve the conflict (up to three months).

When the judge himself decides to resort to this procedure (the plaintiff, for example, does not speak very confidently at the hearing), then this period can be reduced only if both the plaintiff and the defendant apply to the court with this request.

Naturally, the conciliation period delays the case. Even if the plaintiff considers such a procedure unnecessary, there is a positive moment for him: it will be more difficult to challenge the decision in the case in a higher court.

The plaintiff has the right to refuse the dissolution of the marriage. It is valid until the court has retired to the deliberation room. The case ends with a settlement agreement, in which property can also be included.

Refusal of the claim does not mean that subsequently it will not be possible to dissolve the marriage. If the relationship between the spouses deteriorates, you can sue again. The divorce case is terminated (and the marriage, accordingly, is preserved) if, after the expiration of the period that the judge allocated for reconciliation, the plaintiff did not come to the meeting.

Deadlines for divorce

On average, the divorce process will require two to four court sessions (if either party is against termination). If the parties agree, the decision is usually taken at the first meeting.

The minimum period for filing a divorce is a month and 11 days. If the decision entered into force earlier than this period, it will be illegal.

The average processing time when the spouses agree to divorce is one and a half months and 1.5-3 months if someone does not agree, sometimes more than 3 months.

Circumstances that affect the processing time:

norms of the Family Law (divorce is carried out not earlier than a month from filing a claim);
norms of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation (provide a period for appealing a court decision before it comes into force);
the workload of the court and the degree of efficiency of the mail that notifies the parties;
complaints about the illegality of judicial actions (they can increase the processing time by another 2 months);
correction of errors and typos (increase the processing time by 1-3 weeks);
failure of any party.

Cost of divorce through court

It is stipulated in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Article 333.19, clause 5). At the beginning of 2018, it is 650 rubles.

Both spouses pay this amount if:

there is their consent to divorce, no children (minors), no property disputes;
divorce is carried out in court.

If you want to file for divorce in 2019, having the right paperwork will help expedite the process.

A situation may arise when both spouses cannot come to the registry office at the same time. In this case, you can draw up two separate statements and certify them with a notary.

If each of the spouses is ready to divorce, then the list of documents will be as follows:

Application, which can be obtained from the registry office, or can be printed on our website;
Citizen's passport, international passport, you can bring a copy certified by a notary. Moreover, the passports will be checked by the husband and wife;
Marriage registration certificate that you received after the wedding;
Receipt stating that you paid the state duty at the Savings Bank.

After the application is submitted, the registry office employee will mark acceptance on it and ask you to come again in 30 days. This period is given in case you change your mind about getting a divorce. During these 30 days, the application can be withdrawn.

Remember that only couples who fulfill the conditions can apply for such an application:

The spouses do not have common or adopted children who are under 18 years old. If there is a child, then only the court can divorce;
There is no dispute about the division of common property, you must peacefully divide everything yourself;
The marriage is dissolved in the registry office if the husband or wife is incapacitated;
If a husband or wife is sitting or serving a sentence in prison for more than 3 years, they will also have to go to the registry office.

To get a divorce in the registry office, a very small number of documents are required. The marriage certificate that you received after your wedding will suffice. You will also need the application itself to the registry office on behalf of both spouses.

There are three types, choose the one that suits your situation:

You need to fill it out in the following order:

In the upper left and right corners, the registry office employees must put down the date and registration number, you do not need to touch these lines.
But the bottom lines in the upper right corner are already filled in by the spouses, the registry office office where you will go to get divorced, as well as the name of the husband and wife, fits in here.
In the first paragraph, you must write the last name, first name and patronymic.
In paragraph 2, enter your date of birth.
In the third, fill in the place of birth that is printed on your passports.
In the fourth paragraph, you must specify citizenship.
The fifth paragraph is filled in optionally, here you can specify the nationality. If you do not want, then just put a dash on the entire line.
In the sixth paragraph, write the place of your residence, do not forget to indicate the city, street, house number and apartment.
In paragraph 7, indicate the details of your passports, series, number and division code. Fill out all sections very carefully, they will be checked.
Do not touch the eighth point, the registry office workers will tell you
what data to enter.
At the bottom there will be two lines, they need to indicate the names,
who want to leave a husband and wife after a divorce.
And in the very last line, put your signatures with decoding.

It can be drawn up in any form or you can use sample applications and you can ask the registry office staff.

It may happen that you have lost your marriage certificate. Without it, filing for divorce will not work. But do not despair, you can always request a duplicate at the registry office. It is better to contact the registry office where you registered the marriage, then a duplicate will be issued to you on the day of the application.

In 2019, for a divorce, you need: receipts for payment of state duty for 650 rubles, an application for divorce, a copy of your passport. You need to contact the registry office. But remember, if the divorce is in the registry office, then each of the spouses must pay the state duty, you need to apply together. And if a statement of claim is filed in the world court (if there are minor children or disputes over the division of property and debts), then only the plaintiff pays 600 rubles.

Either spouse can request a duplicate. Only in this situation a new problem arises. If one of the spouses does not want to voluntarily divorce, you will not be able to apply to the registry office. You will have to go to court, write a statement of claim, collect other documents.

Documents for divorce through court

If your couple has minor children, you need to go to court. Everything is not so simple here, so read our recommendations very carefully.

The most important thing you must do is to correctly and competently draw up a statement of claim. It must describe in detail the circumstances and reasons for the divorce. It is also necessary to indicate all children from marriage and other circumstances.
Since the court will certainly ask questions about children, copies of the child's birth certificate must be attached.
A marriage certificate is required. Be sure to include multiple copies.
If you have the opportunity, ask for documents confirming the place of residence of the defendant (second spouse). This may be a certificate from the HOA.
Be sure to pay the state duty, now it is 650 rubles. The easiest way to do this is at the nearest Sberbank branch. Attach the received check with a paper clip or stapler to the statement of claim. Without paying the state fee, the court will not even accept your documents.
If you cannot or do not want to participate in court on your own, seek the help of a specialist, a lawyer or an attorney. Then you will need another power of attorney for this person. A power of attorney can be done at any notary.

But this is not all documents. If you own property, the court may ask you to submit a property division agreement. Therefore, be prepared that the court may request other documents.

Answer
You can get a divorce through the registry office. Article 21 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation says that divorce is carried out in court if the spouses have common minor children. If your child is registered with another man, then it is not common. If your husband is completely against the divorce, then you will have to go to court.

Special nuances

There are many important nuances associated with the divorce process.

The most important are the following:

Dissolution of a marriage when a woman is in a position or a child less than a year old is possible if her behavior is identified as antisocial.

All property acquired during the marriage is strictly divided between the spouses.

Dissolution of a marriage upon establishing the incapacity of one of the spouses or pronounced antisocial behavior is carried out immediately. But there must be documentary evidence for this fact.

The legislative framework

If possible, divorcing spouses should study the legislative framework in as much detail as possible.

It includes the following:

Article	Description
Article No. 16 of the RF IC	listed grounds for divorce

Not all couples with dignity go through all the stages of life's difficulties. The divorce process is a period associated with difficulties, and not only moral ones. There are also a number of issues, one way or another, related to the period of divorce. If you strictly follow all the instructions and do not make certain mistakes, a divorce can be issued quickly and without extra costs.

What factors influence the speed of divorce and its registration?

First you need to figure out what the composition of the family is: perhaps it is a young couple who, after a short period of time, realized the impossibility of continuing marital relations, or it is a couple who has children or has acquired this or that property for a long time, which in court will be recognized as jointly acquired.
Next, it is worth understanding the question: is the fact of a joint solution to this issue real, or does one of the spouses somehow prevent the dissolution of the marriage or, in fact, cannot be at the place of the divorce proceedings. Here you can also add a clause about the need to involve a professional lawyer, or both spouses are competent in the peaceful and independent settlement of financial issues. If there is nothing to share, then the divorce will be processed faster than in the reverse situation.
If all the points are taken into account and an approximate plan for the development of events is already in place, it is necessary to move on. Therefore, further specific dates and periods for divorces and lawsuits (if necessary) will be indicated.

What to do to divorce your husband or wife as soon as possible

Answering this question requires a clear understanding of the law. It is important to know that any non-compliance with the rules will result in the divorce being declared void and illegal. It follows from this that all the rights and obligations of the spouses will remain in the same place even when a new marriage is concluded, the latter will also be declared invalid.

Therefore, if family law requires applying to certain bodies, then this is exactly what should be done. At the same time, if possible, it is better to use the services of a legal organization that has experience in such cases and is in close contact with public authorities in order to submit documents correctly and on time.

Option one, divorce by mutual agreement and no children: a young couple (husband and wife), without property and minor children.
In this case, both spouses must apply with a corresponding application to the registry office and submit identification documents confirming the marriage, as well as the paid state fee. This is the most convenient option, in which the divorce is carried out in a short time - all this is possible if there is mutual agreement.

Option two if you have a child: a married couple who has a child under 18 years of age or has acquired property during the period of marriage.
In this case, the marriage is dissolved only through the court. Any appeal to other authorities can lead to the fact that the divorce is declared invalid and this process can increase significantly in terms of time.

To speed up the divorce process through the judiciary, you need to prepare all the documents in advance. If there are minor children and amicable consent to the payment of alimony, you can contact a notary and conclude an agreement on the payment of alimony, this is done quite quickly.

The same path can be followed by regulating the issue of property. As part of the litigation, a settlement agreement can be concluded. At the same time, you can speed up the process by obtaining summons in advance so as not to postpone court hearings to a later date.

Is it faster to get a divorce through the court or the registry office?

From the point of view of shortened terms, the process of divorcing a husband and wife through the registry office is faster and more profitable, since with the consent of both spouses, a certificate of divorce will be received in a month. With some delays or problems with documents, such a process can double.

During the trial, the same terms of 1 month are established. However, it must be remembered that the deadline will only take effect from the moment the court decides to initiate this judicial proceeding, which is an additional week to the specified deadline. In addition, do not forget about the entry into force of the court decision. To do this, you need to add another month to the total period. In total, a full divorce can be achieved only after 2 months.
If there are difficulties or other unresolved disputes, litigation can drag on for twice as long.
