... without our participation. We have a son who is 5 years old. We peacefully decided that he would stay with me. Is it necessary to file a lawsuit against whom the child will be with?

No, not necessarily. You can enter into an agreement with your husband regarding the exercise of parental rights and the fulfillment of responsibilities by those of them who live separately from the child.

Such an agreement is a reasonable, civilized, painless solution for both children and adults.

The subject of this contract is the determination of the place of residence and activities related to upbringing, education, care of the child or a combination of these elements, aimed at ensuring the normal physical, spiritual and moral development of the child. The contract is concluded in writing and is subject to notarization.
