Grigoryev left his wife Vasilyev and two children

Grigoriev left his wife Vasilyev and two children and refused to pay child support for their maintenance. He said that he did not recognize his eldest child, as he had learned three years ago that the child was not his, although he was recorded in the registry office in his name. In addition, the defendant said that he is now married to Petrova and has two children, whom he contains. Vasilyeva asked the court to invalidate Grigoriev’s marriage with Petrova, since her marriage to the defendant has not yet been dissolved, and thus relieve him of the obligation to support children born in an invalid marriage. She demanded the recovery of alimony for the maintenance of her children without reducing the shares due to them.
