Divorce law
Divorce is a common social phenomenon that results in family breakdown. The procedure for divorce is clearly defined in the RF IC, it provides for two ways of divorce:
· A simplified procedure through the registry office;
· Judicial procedure.
More recently, a new bill has been passed regulating new aspects of the divorce proceedings. Basically, the changes touched the side of the issue in which children participate. For example, if earlier, without the consent of the second spouse, you could not take the child abroad, and the punishment for violating this norm was not severe, then now you can be held criminally liable. The maximum bar has been set for a term of imprisonment for concealing a child from a second spouse and obstructing their communication (it is now equal to 10 years). From the age of 14, a child has the right to determine with whom he agrees to live after the divorce of his parents. These and other changes can be found in the Federal Law “On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation”.
