Topuria won the first court victory over his ex-wife

The judge ruled that until the divorce process is completed and the official schedule for meetings with the father is approved, the child cannot leave the country. Particular attention in the decision is given to the fact that the plane tickets were purchased by the mother 12 days before Topuria made a public statement, after which a media scandal broke out. This fact, according to the court, refutes Georgina's version that the departure was allegedly a forced measure due to bullying on social networks.

The situation is further complicated by the fact that for the past four months, Ilia Topuria has actually had no opportunity to see his daughter at the initiative of his ex-wife, despite repeated attempts to organize meetings. At the same time, the counter-complaint filed against the fighter himself has not yet led to either a summons for interrogation or the imposition of any restrictive measures.

Thus, at the current moment, Topuria retains the opportunity to remain in regular contact with the child in Spain, and the final decision on the daughter's place of residence and communication order will be made within the framework of the main divorce process.
