Court orders return of Elizaveta Abakarova's son from Dagestan

The ex-husband of Elizaveta Abakarova, who took their son from Moscow to Makhachkala, is obliged to return the child to his mother and pay child support, the court ruled.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, Elizaveta Abakarova's ex-husband took their son from Moscow to Makhachkala and is trying to formalize custody through the local court and his connections, while the mother did not even know about the process that had begun there. The boy needs treatment, which he is not receiving in Dagestan, Abakarova said. In June, Elizaveta's ex-husband failed to appear at a court hearing where the child's place of residence was to be determined.

The story of Elizaveta Abakarova "Caucasus without a mother" was published on May 12. Abakarova's ex-husband took their child from school in Moscow in October 2024 and took him to Makhachkala, completely isolating him from his mother. The custody trial was held in Makhachkala retroactively without her participation. The child requires treatment: Elizaveta treated her son on her own for nine years, her husband left after the child was diagnosed at the age of three and a half.

On August 13, Elizaveta Abakarova won a lawsuit to determine the child's place of residence and the appointment of alimony. Abakarova herself reported the court's decision to the "Caucasian Knot".

"The court ruled to determine the child's place of residence with the mother until he reaches adulthood. The bailiffs of the North Caucasus are obliged to transfer my child home. The decision on the transfer of the child will be in a week," she said.

In addition, the court ordered Mikhail Makukha to pay alimony - and in an amount four times more than the man paid earlier, before he took his son to Dagestan - 20 thousand rubles a month instead of five thousand.

"They fought to collect alimony from me and determine the child's place of residence with the father in Dagestan. But the Moscow court determined that the child should live with the mother and collected child support from the father," Elizaveta explained.

According to Abakarova, neither her ex-husband nor his lawyer Zuleikha Ibragimova were present in court. "They have never been in the Moscow court. There were no applications for videoconferencing, nothing, so the court considered the case without the other party," she noted. Abakarova added that the consideration of a private complaint against the transfer of the case to Moscow, which was filed in Dagestan by Ibragimova's lawyer, will be terminated.

Elizaveta Abakarova's ex-husband Mikhail Makukha declined to comment on the court's decision. "Sorry, I will not comment on anything," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
