Court Places Roman Tovstik’s Five Minor Children in His Care
A court has ruled that Roman Tovstik’s five minor children will live with him, following a dispute with his former wife, Elena.
The children are Anna, Artem, Alisa, Agata and Artur; their 19-year-old brother, Andrei, moved in with their grandparents last year.
Tovstik says he is looking for a comfortable home for the family.
His partner, Polina Dibrova, says she supports him but will raise her own children, while he remains responsible for his.
Tovstik says they plan to live together as one family, without replacing the children’s parents.
Elena has said the children were taken from her, while Tovstik has said he does not intend to keep them from their mother.
Tovstik says the children will live with him, and Dibrova says she and Tovstik plan to marry soon.
