Now in most regions of our country there is a regime of self-insulation, which assumes a number of restrictions on the movement of citizens and to the work of institutions and organizations. But, despite self-insulation, life continues: people not only get sick and recover, but also register various forms of civil status, for example, marriage or bred. And if a wedding can be transferred, a lot often depends on the divorce, for example, a section of property or appointment of alimony.
In self-insulation, when the spouses are forced during a month or more in one room around the clock, their relationships can exacerbate. Accordingly, in some situations there may be a question of the termination of marriage, and it may be very difficult to organize this procedure under self-insulation conditions or is impossible. Consider the nuances of the divorce procedure under self-insulation in more detail.
According to Art. 18 Family Code of the Russian Federation, the divorce of marriage is carried out in the bodies of record acts of civil status, except for cases involving the dissolution of marriage in court. Cases of termination of marriage in court include, according to Part 1 of Art. 21 of the RF IC, the divorces of parents of minor children, and, according to Part 2 of Art. 21 of the RF IC, divorces in the evasion of one of the spouses from signing the statement in the authorities of record acts of civil status.

In the conditions of the actions of the self-insulation regime in most regions of the Russian Federation, the civil status acts authorities temporarily suspended the registration and termination of marriage. This decision was made after making March 31, 2020 by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation of the relevant proposal. In the Russian courts, according to the Order of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, in the conditions of self-insulation, a personal reception of citizens was suspended and consideration of cases not related to cases of paramount importance.
Thus, the beginning of the divorce procedure is currently in self-insulation with a personal presence in the world court or civil records of civil status acts. An exception is those situations where the application for the cessation of marriage registration has already been submitted to the authorities of acts of civil status or court. But it is worth noting that the consideration of the application may be delayed due to overload and registry offices, and ships.
The only interaction with the registry office and courts under self-insulation remains remote communication. You can apply in electronic form if the registry office is not temporarily closed. To submit an application, you will need a digital electronic signature. But you need to warn that even if the registry office or court will make an application, consideration can significantly delay.
