Penalty for divorce in Russia: size, responsibility and recommendations

It's no secret that in Russia the situation with the creation of families and divorces is deplorable. Many couples get married quickly, and after a while they diverge. Is there a fine for divorce in this case? Does this process imply any expenditure on the part of the spouses? If so, how much do you have to pay? The answers to these questions are to be found below. In reality, everything is not as difficult as it seems. The main thing is to closely monitor changes in Russian legislation.

Family law

Penalties for divorces in Russia take place or not? This issue worries all citizens who decided to terminate the marriage. After all, not always a man and a woman manage to get along together.

Family legislation of the Russian Federation indicates that the conclusion of marriage is a mutual decision, and its dissolution can occur unilaterally, but on the initiative of one of the spouses. In fact, the law does not prohibit divorce. This is the business of every couple. But is there a fine for divorce in the Russian Federation?

Fines are true or fiction?

The answer is not as difficult as it might seem initially. There are no direct fines for the termination of official marriage in Russia. As already mentioned, the creation and liquidation of new cells of society are the decision of the spouses. Therefore, no one forces to be forced into marriage. And to punish for this state, too, will not.

This means that fines for divorce are a myth. Such a measure violates the established legislation and limits the constitutional and civil rights of the population. You can not force a person to create a family. And to punish him for divorce is also prohibited.

Not a free procedure

Nevertheless, for the termination of the officially registered marriage will have to pay. This is a state duty. It occurs when the bulk of documents are issued.

Thus, for the conclusion and dissolution of marriage, citizens are required to pay a state fee in the established amounts. It changes from time to time. That is why the population is recommended to carefully monitor the existing changes in the legislative system of the Russian Federation. The latest adjustments occurred in 2017. About them will be told later.

Factors of influence

What penalty for a divorce is necessary to pay to her husband and wife? Under this term, we will henceforth mean a state fee. After all, in Russia divorce is not a crime and is not punishable by law.

One should pay attention to the fact that many factors influence the size of the state duty during divorce. Namely:

• Body in which the operation is performed;
• Necessity of property division;
• The value of jointly acquired property;
• The spouses' desire to resolve the issue of divorce.

It follows that it is far from always possible to unequivocally answer the question posed. Next, we will talk in more detail about how much you will have to pay for a divorce under certain circumstances.

Through registrar's office

Let's start with the simplest scenario: the relationship is broken through the registry office by mutual consent of the spouses. The division of property in this case is not provided.

The "fine" for divorce (state duty) in 2017 is 650 rubles. In 2016, citizens had to pay 400 rubles for a similar operation. This state duty is paid by a single payment from both spouses.

Civil Registry Office and Unilateral Order

And what if the husband / wife does not agree with the divorce? This is not so rare. Divorce through the registry office is possible, but only in exceptional cases. The main thing is that the spouses do not have underage children.

For today in the REGISTRY OFFICE unilaterally bred:

• If the spouse is convicted for more than 3 years;
• When recognizing a missing / deceased husband / wife;
• If the second spouse is declared incompetent by a court decision.

How much "fine" for a divorce will be in these situations? You will have to pay much less. The amount of the state fee is reduced to 200 rubles. It is paid by the party that has expressed a desire to divorce.

Through the court

The situation is different with the dissolution of marriage through the court. Here the exact cost of the process can not be predicted. But citizens can find out the size of state fees for the process being studied.

So, for filing a lawsuit in court on divorce, the plaintiff will have to pay 650 rubles. That is how much the claim is worth. After the court session, citizens will have to make themselves certificates of divorce. Each copy costs another 650 rubles. In total, the "fine" for divorce will cost 1 300 rubles without additional costs.

Such an option is relevant if the parties do not have a common property. And what if you want to share a joint property? How much will the state pay for the divorce proceedings in this case?

Minimum when dividing property

As already mentioned, the exact amount of payment is problematic to determine. In Russia, there are minimums on which to rely. After divorce through the court with the division of property will have to take into account the value of common property.

The minimum fee is 400 rubles. This payment is made by the party that claims a part of the joint property. But sometimes it is necessary to transfer more money to the state treasury.

Of course, no one releases anyone from the costs of making a certificate of divorce and filing a lawsuit. This is a mandatory additional expenditure, which the couple will encounter.

Other payments

The "fine" for divorce in Russia can vary. Especially when it comes to the division of everything that was acquired in the marriage for the time of the family's existence. A huge role here is the value of the property.

With a minimum payment we have already met. How much do you have to pay in the form of a fee for divorce with a section of property under certain circumstances?

If the value of the common property exceeds 20,000 rubles, the citizen needs to contribute 800 rubles + 3% of the value of the shared object to the state treasury. But that is not all. When the total property is worth more than 100,000 rubles, you have to pay a fine of 3 200 rubles + 2% of the price tag on the object. This does not end with payments.

For property, the estimated value of which is more than 200 000 rubles, you need to pay 5 200 rubles + 1% of its price. It's about large properties? When the property costs more than 1 000 000 rubles, it is necessary to transfer to the treasury of the state when submitting the claim 13 200 rubles and another 1.5% of the value of the objects subject to division. Such amounts are relevant for the Russian Federation in 2017.

Maximum Payments

It would seem that there are no significant restrictions on state fees for divorce when property is divided. But actually it is not. As already mentioned, in Russia there are minimum payments. Along with them, there is a maximum "penalty" for the division of property under the divorce proceedings.

The maximum that can be transferred to the state in the situation under study is 60,000 rubles. A large amount does not take place. Unless it is necessary to pay for registration of a copy of the certificate on divorce in the REGISTRY OFFICE.

Plans for fines

We have already found out that there are no real fines for divorce in Russia. This initiative violates the rights and freedoms of people. Nevertheless, various measures of preserving families are often discussed in the Russian Federation.

Among the most common ideas there are proposals in which fines are put for divorce. The traffic police (or, to be more exact, the Ministry of Internal Affairs) and the State Duma do not support such an initiative. According to its developers, for a divorce you need to pay 30,000 rubles. This amount is significant for most families, it is supposed to help prevent most divorces in the country. After all, at the moment the state fee is small, all couples can pay it.

According to the Interior Ministry, such a decision will not only violate the rights and freedoms of the population, but also lead to the growth of fictitious marriages. All this will have a detrimental effect on family values. Yes, and people who decide to divorce, will pay any fines and duties for the implementation of the task.

conclusions

Now it is clear how much "fine" for divorce in Russia will be in this or that case. It is necessary to take into account numerous factors when searching for the answer to the question studied. It is enough to remember that divorce by mutual consent through the registry office in 2017 costs 650 rubles.

So far, no real fines for the operation under investigation are foreseen. And such a measure is unlikely to find support in the State Duma. Therefore, it is enough to remember that the divorce proceedings, like the wedding, require the payment of state fees in various sizes.

As it is not difficult to guess, a divorce can be made through a registry office or through a court. Usually a suit is filed at the residence of one of the spouses. In the world courts it is recommended to apply in the presence of property disputes.

Perhaps, these are all restrictions, which should be remembered for today. The conclusion of marriage and its dissolution are operations that are available to each pair. And this fact pleases the Russian population.
