The site has a page of frequently asked questions that serves as a basic reference for divorce issues in Russia. For more detailed information you can write to me, a Russian divorce lawyer with more than six years of experience in family law, and I will answer your specific questions.
Russian divorce law is generally more liberal than Western family law. However the Russian legal system can be complicated while language barriers can make it almost impossible to deal with.
This site is designed as an entry point for those needing Russian legal assistance and seeks to make your dealings with Russian divorce law as easy as possible. The site also includes relevant Russian laws, codes and documents relating to domestic and international family law and my comments on the most common questions relating to these laws.

It makes no difference whether one spouse did not work at all during the marriage or both spouses worked equally for the money.
