Danil Khachaturov’s ex-wife seeks half of his fortune · 2007-11-19 14:00

Danil Khachaturov, english.pravda.ruThe head of Russia’s largest insurance company Rosgosstrakh, Danil Khachaturov, is divorcing his wife, Anna.

The woman originally intended to win 100 million dollars by court action from her husband. Now she seeks a half of his fortune, which makes up 1.3 billion dollars.

In her lawsuit Anna Khachaturova asks for 50 percent of her husband’s stocks. Lawyers say that the woman has all chances to win the case due to the lack of both the marriage contract and the amicable agreement, Pravda reports.

The lawsuit says that the spouses did not conclude the agreement on the division of their jointly acquired property, nor did they sign the marriage contract. According to the Family Code of the Russian Federation the two spouses share their property equally unless other conditions are stipulated by the marriage contract.

Preliminary hearings on the case are planned to take place on November 26. “We will expand our claims. We will ask the court to share the stocks of Rosgosstrakh or replace them with a payment,” Khachaturova’s lawyer said.

The two spouses signed a joint statement in August of the current year prior to their divorce. The document says that they do not have any property subjected to division. However, the lawyer is certain that Anna Khachaturova was forced to sign the paper, which therefore cannot be considered to be the amicable agreement. “Anna Khachaturova was forced to sign the statement to receive the alimony to maintain her 14-year-old son,” the lawyer said.
