Garik Kharlamov and Christina Asmus
Comedian Garik Kharlamov and actress Kristina Asmus claim that their decision has been brewing for a long time and is absolutely calm and balanced. Both announced their upcoming divorce on their Instagram pages. Christina thanked Garik for the years he had lived, and he expressed hope that after 8 years they would be able to maintain friendship and mutual respect.
But, knowing Kharlamov and Asmus, many fans are in no hurry to get upset. Moreover, most recently Vladimir Marconi, host of the Comment Out show on YouTube, said that the couple’s divorce was just a joke. He claims that this is the task that Garik and Christina received on the project. The stars themselves have not yet commented on the statement. One can only guess!
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Schweier
The marriage existed for almost 20 years: the couple seemed ideal, no one could think that something could separate Arnold and Maria.
But one day Maria noticed that the son of their housekeeper looked like Arnold. The similarity was so strong that the truth was finally revealed. Schwarzenegger's illegitimate son turned out to be the same age as his legitimate youngest son.
These celebrity divorces caused a lot of noise in their time, but the divorces of Paul McCartney from Heather Mills, Steven Spielberg from Amy Irving, Mel Gibson from Robin Moore, and Madonna from Guy Ritchie are also remembered as the most scandalous. In Russian show business, couples such as Nikita Dzhigurda and Marina Anisina, Marat Basharov and Ekaterina Arkharova, Yulia Baranovskaya and Andrei Arshavin could not easily divorce.
Perhaps there is some truth in the saying “a person is not known in marriage, but in divorce.”
Olivier Sarkozy and Mary-Kate Olsen
But the divorce of actress and designer Mary-Kate Olsen from businessman Olivier Sarkozy became much more unexpected. The couple seemed happy and prosperous, despite the 17-year difference. The separation was not without scandals: according to rumors, Sarkozy kicked Olsen out of their shared home.
It was not possible to get a divorce without problems because, due to the pandemic, the court postponed the consideration of Mary-Kate's application. But as soon as the courts resumed on May 25, she re-filed a claim for breach of the marriage contract. The actress moved to a rented mansion in the Hamptons, and Sarkozy took his mother, his ex-wife and two children into their once joint home.
Divorce through a magistrate judge
If one of the spouses refuses to divorce, does not write consent and does not appear at court hearings, but they do not have minor children together, and their total property in monetary terms does not exceed 100 thousand rubles, a magistrate can carry out the procedure . The initiator submits the application to the magistrate court at the place of residence (passport registration) of the defendant.
Divorce in district court
In all other cases, a decision of the district court is required. These include situations where there are minor children in the family and the amount of property is more than 100 thousand rubles. That is, there are disputes that need to be resolved: with whom the child will remain, how to divide the property. Similarly, the initiator of the divorce writes a statement at the place of registration of the respondent spouse.
In court, divorce is usually carried out within one month from the date of the relevant application, and for this it is sufficient for only the plaintiff to be present at court hearings. However, in case of disputes over property or children, litigation can last up to six months.
Pavel Priluchny and Agata Muceniece
Another 8-year marriage did not stand the test of time, and the actors ended it in June. Talks about divorce had been going on since February, and the couple planned to maintain a good relationship for the sake of their two children. But soon a scandal broke out, and Agatha accused Pavel of alcohol abuse and domestic violence.
In Instagram stories, a girl in tears told how the actor kicks her and her children out of the house in the midst of a pandemic. According to Muceniece, publicity in this case is her only weapon and protection. After this, the actress began to actively comment on the unpleasant details of life together, stated that she would no longer cover up her husband’s alcoholism, and said hello to Dzhigan, whom we will talk about a little further!
The amount of state duty for divorce in 2017
The state fee is charged regardless of whether the divorce takes place in the registry office or in court. A receipt for payment is a mandatory document attached to the application for divorce.
There are several factors that influence the final amount of state duty. Eg:
- whether the divorce will take place in court or through the registry office;
- the initiator of the divorce is one of the spouses, or it is a mutual desire;
- whether the couple has a minor child;
- whether the division of jointly acquired property will be carried out;
- what is the reason for divorce?
Article 25.3 of the Tax Code establishes the following amounts of state duty:
- 650 rub. – in case of divorce through the registry office, by mutual consent of both parties, without minor children. The state fee is paid by everyone.
- 650 rub. – in case of divorce through the court, each spouse pays or, by agreement, one of the parties.
- 350 rub. – in case of divorce through the registry office unilaterally. The state fee is charged to the applicant.
State duty for divorce through the registry office
The amount is 650 rubles. is charged to both husband and wife. Unilateral divorce in the presence of minor children is permitted if the second spouse:
- died or went missing;
- declared incompetent;
- sentenced to serve a prison sentence of more than 3 years.
In 2014, the state fee when filing an application for divorce was 450 rubles. This slight increase is due to increased inflation over the years.
State duty for divorce in court
A receipt for payment of state duty in the amount of 650 rubles is attached to the statement of claim for divorce. This is the case if the divorcees do not have property disputes.
Next, after receiving a court decision, the spouses must contact the registry office, register changes in marital status in the deed book, obtain a divorce certificate and put a mark in the passport. Each copy of the certificate will cost the divorcing person another 650 rubles.
Thus, both spouses will incur expenses in the amount of 1,950 rubles during a divorce through the court.
The calculation of the state duty is completely different if the statement of claim contains property claims. In this case, a fixed amount and a percentage of the appraised value of the property are charged. Thus, when filing a claim, a state fee is withheld in the amount of:
- 400 rubles – if the plaintiff claims a share in property not exceeding 20 thousand rubles;
- 800 rubles, if property claims do not exceed 100 thousand rubles. and 3% of the value of property valued at more than 20 thousand rubles;
- 3,200 rubles, if the plaintiff claims a share estimated from 100 to 200 thousand rubles. and 2% of the amount exceeding 100 thousand rubles;
- 5,200 rubles, if the plaintiff filed claims in the amount of 200 thousand rubles. up to 1 million rubles and 1% of the value of property valued at more than 200 thousand rubles;
- 13,500 rubles, if the applicant’s share exceeds 1 million rubles, 0.5% of the price of the property exceeding one million rubles.
The law establishes the maximum amount of state duty - 60 thousand rubles.

Ivan Telegin and Pelageya
In contrast to the two previous stories, the divorce of hockey player Ivan Telegin from singer Pelageya was not sudden and scandalous. The couple announced their intentions much earlier and even stopped wearing wedding rings. In their posts on social networks, both assured that they plan to maintain a good relationship for the sake of their daughter.
Although Telegin and Pelageya separated even earlier, they submitted their application only at the end of May. In the comments, Telegin thanked his wife for the past years, relationships and wonderful daughter. According to him, the breakup is no one’s fault - it’s just that sometimes two strong personalities don’t get along together.
State duty for divorce through the registry office in 2018
The amount of the state fee for the termination of a marriage by the civil registry office, if the spouses dissolve the union by mutual consent, this year is equal to six hundred and fifty rubles for each side.
By the way, not so long ago it was necessary to pay 250 rubles less, but rising inflation influenced the increase in the size of the state duty.
When a marriage is dissolved in the registry office on the initiative of only one of the spouses, he files the claim independently and pays 350 rubles.
In this order, marriage today is terminated only under the following conditions:
- The husband or wife is listed as missing;
- The court decided to deprive one of the partners of legal capacity;
- One of the parties was sentenced to imprisonment for a term exceeding three years.
It is important to know that each department of the registry office is equipped with its own individual bank details, and before making a payment, it is wiser to get a sample receipt there, and only then go to the bank.
This should be done due to the fact that the details of most government institutions are constantly changing, and the bank may not have time to update this information in its database.
To pay the state fee you need:
- Choose which registry office (the one where the marriage took place, or the place of residence of the husband or wife) or which court (magistrate, district or city court, at the place of registration of the husband or wife) to send your claims;
- Calculate state duty;
- Take a receipt from the registry office or court for payment;
- Enter in the fields of the receipt the details of the registry office or the court in which the application will be considered;
- Make a payment.
The receipt form must indicate:
- name and details of the payee;
- name of the banking institution and account number of the recipient of the money;
- purpose of payment;
- Full name, passport details, individual personal account details, address of the person paying the fee;
- Payment amount;
- Date of payment.
It is necessary to pay special attention to ensure that the details included in the receipt belong to the very department of the registry office or the judicial district where the application will be sent.
You can pay the state fee in different ways:
- Through a cash desk at a bank branch;
- Use the self-service terminal;
- Via Internet banking.
Thanks to the expansion of the range of banking services, there are now many options for paying duties: using bank cards, electronic wallets, online banks.
But we must not lose sight of the fact that you should use online services to make such a payment only when, after the transaction, a check, account statement or other document proving the fact of payment is issued.

Dzhigan and Oksana Samoilova
An unexpected scandal surrounding rapper Dzhigan hit the top of all social networks. He went on air in a dubious state, argued with the audience, and asked his daughter to bring alcohol. Obviously, her husband’s breakdown was the last straw for Samoilova, despite 10 years of marriage. In her post, she reported numerous infidelities, constant lies and the use of illegal drugs, concluding that Dzhigan left her no choice.
Oksana Samoilova claims that she endured to the last for the sake of her four children, but her husband’s mental state seriously worries her. However, she does not intend to deprive him of parental rights and is ready to help from a distance. Dzhigan came to his senses and began to publicly apologize and say that it was Oksana who saved his life.
As a result, the couple never showed up for the scheduled trial, so it may soon turn out that they are superfluous in this selection. But we couldn’t ignore such a big story!
Current situation
In our country, it was recently proposed to increase the state duty for divorce to 30 thousand rubles. Then it was four hundred rubles for each of the divorcing spouses, and we were talking about a very, very significant increase. This proposal was discussed in an open government format. However, such an initiative, despite the logical justification - not to act impulsively, creating a new family and divorcing a marriage, did not meet with the support of the majority. Thus, opinions were expressed that everyone should have the opportunity to use justice, regardless of salary. And since the average Russian salary still does not greatly exceed this figure, not everyone would really have the opportunity to get a divorce. Also, at present, many couples prefer to live together without formalizing the relationship; such a measure would further aggravate the situation.
As a result, you can still get a divorce for quite adequate payment. But this does not mean that the price of state fees for divorce in 2017 in Russia will remain unchanged. Like all payments, its size increases and is indexed in accordance with rising prices. Over the past three years, its size has increased from 400 rubles to 650 from each spouse.
Divorce procedure
To get a divorce, you must follow the procedure established by the state. The procedure can occur by mutual consent. Then all you need is a written application to the registry office from the couple, to which must be attached an already paid receipt of the state fee for divorce in 2020.
Divorce is carried out in a similar way if one of the spouses is sentenced to a term of at least three years, or if he goes missing or is officially declared incompetent.
In all other cases, divorce is carried out in court. Several possible cases of registration of the procedure are defined by law.
