The key facts

  • A justice of the peace issued a court order for child support collection, which has already taken effect
  • Grishin must pay a third of his income for 15-year-old daughter Iya and 10-year-old son Ignatiy
  • The marriage has not been dissolved; according to StarHit, the spouses have long lived separately

Child support without a divorce

Actress Nelli Uvarova, known for the TV series Not Born Beautiful, has obtained child support from her husband Alexander Grishin through the courts for the upkeep of their two children. This was reported by StarHit, as retold by Gazeta.Ru. The couple's official divorce has not been finalized, yet a justice of the peace granted Uvarova's petition for a court order, which has already taken legal effect.

What the court decided and what it changes

Under the court's decision, Grishin is required to pay a third of his income toward the support of his 15-year-old daughter Iya and 10-year-old son Ignatiy. The practical significance of the court order is that if the father stops supporting the children, Uvarova can immediately turn to the bailiffs — no separate legal proceedings will be needed for that.

The couple's relationship

People close to the couple confirmed to StarHitthat the spouses have long lived separately, no longer wear their wedding rings, and try to cross paths as little as possible even at the RAMT theater, where both continue to work. Several years ago, Uvarova herself spoke about problems in the marriage, mentioning a loss of trust, and described family life as a lull.

Background

Nelli Uvarova and Alexander Grishin met 16 years ago at the theater and officially registered their relationship in 2011.
