Q: I have the following legal situation with which I would like to seek an advice and potential representation. The facts are as following: myself, my sister and our mother own 75% of shares in an apartment in Dubai. The remaining 25% owns our father, ex-­husband of our mother. They recently got divorced in Russia. We are all citizens of Russian Federation. Now we want to sell the apartment, but our father refuses to sell his share of ownership so that to make it impossible for us to receive any income from this apartment. Russian court decided that after divorce each party (mother and father) keeps his/her 25% of ownership. What possible legal options we have in order to be able to sell this apartment? Or what can we do in order to sell our 75% ownership in this apartment?
