Legal Question in Family Law in California
What should I do?
I am a Russian citizen, and I am married to American citizen.
Things between us did not work out, and I returned to my country of
residence-Russia, and tried to obtain divorce from my husband
through Russian court while he was still in the US. By Russian law,
I can obtain divorce from my husband but I need a verification from
him that he recieved the court information and the divorce process.
The court tried to contact him in multiple occasions, but he is not
signing up the papers that he recieved them, and court cannot get us
divorced without the paper that verifies that he knows about the
process. He keeps ignoring them, so he can get tax cuts and lower
rates on his mortgage payments. What should I do?

Re: What should I do?
In California the procedure would be to have a process server serve him and sign a proof of service. This procedure satisfies the laws of California, and may satisfy Russian Law. If he has been a resident of California for at least 6 months and lived on one county for 90 days you could file a petition for divorce and serve him. Six months after he has been served you could obtain a court order dissolving the marriage.
