| dc.description.abstract | This article is about the legal situation for the many women who
immigrated to the northernmost county in Norway, Finnmark, from
North-West of Russia after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Their way of
immigration was mostly through marriage to Norwegian men. To be
foreign and new in a country could be difficult. How is their legal
situation as newcomers? The complexity of problems will increase if
they get children, divorce or move from Norway to Russia or the
other way. Which authorities are to decide for them and which
country’s laws are to be applied? The article also covers the legal
situation for children born in such marriages such as status, custody,
support and child abduction, and the situation when one of the
spouses dies. | en_US |
