Statistics show: over the past few years, the number of couples wishing to divorce has been growing in Russia. This is a global trend, although marriages break up a little less in the United States and other countries. A few decades later, the situation was different, and 100-150 years ago, the couple lived in a family union until the end of their days. But over time, people began to relate to the breakup of marital relations much easier, especially if there are reasons for this.
How is a divorce through the registry office
It is possible to make a break in marriage relations in the state registration authority (registry office) only when these relations were registered there in accordance with the current legislation. This means that other types of marriage - civil, church - are not dissolved in the registry office. The procedure begins with the submission of applications. For this, the spouses need to come together to the registry office and inform the staff of the institution about their intentions. The application for divorce in the registry office is filed at the place of residence of one of the spouses or state registration of marriage.
A husband whose wife gave birth to a child less than a year ago or is only bearing it is not entitled to file for divorce without her permission. If the spouses have common children, whose age does not exceed 16 years - will have to get divorced through the courts. Also, the court will have to apply in cases if only one spouse wishes to terminate the relationship, and the other objects or refuses to divorce. The court will decide on a divorce in a special order on the application of only one party, but this will require extra time and nerves.
If there are court decisions, registry office workers will begin the process of divorce at the request of only one spouse, and those who do not belong to the above categories. If the spouse is doing military service, is seriously ill, is seconded (is on a long voyage on a ship), and is not able to submit an application in person, his absence is allowed. He fills out the application in a special form and notarizes his signature on it. In addition to the application, you need to submit a few more documents.
Employees of the registry office do not find out the reason why the husband and wife decided to divorce, do not insist on maintaining relations, do not contribute to the reconciliation of the parties. The law provides for the possibility of reconciliation: for this, the wife and husband have exactly one month. Sometimes during this time, the husband and wife reconcile and maintain a marriage relationship. If their decision remains unchanged, there are no more barriers to finally getting a divorce.
What you need for a divorce through a registry office?
