A Moscow court has registered a lawsuit filed by blogger Oksana Samoylova seeking to restrict the parental rights of rapper Jigan, whose real name is Denis Ustimenko-Weinstein, Samoylova's lawyer Marina Dubrovskaya told the RIA Novosti news agency, as cited by Kommersant.
The details of the lawsuit itself — including the specific grounds for restricting parental rights — were not disclosed in the report.
What Is Known About the Case
Samoylova and Jigan were previously married and have children together; their relationship, including matters related to the upbringing of their children, has repeatedly drawn attention from Russian media. The registration of the lawsuit means the case has been accepted for proceedings and will be considered by the court on its merits.
In Russian judicial practice, decisions to restrict parental rights typically require evidence of serious circumstances affecting the interests of the child and are made by the court after examining all the facts of the case with both parties present.
No comments from Jigan or his representatives had been received at the time of publication.
