Hello everyone,

Reaching the decision to seek divorce can be hard. Filing the papers as an expat in Turkey can be as taxing since a good grasp of legislations is needed and the process can prove to be tedious.

Where and how do you apply for a divorce in Turkey? How long does it take for the process to be completed?

If the couple has children, which measures can be taken in order to protect their interests?

Which procedures should be completed so that the divorce is legally recognized in the country of origin?

How is divorce viewed in Turkey?

Being away from one's home country and loved ones, what advice do have for staying strong emotionally and mentally in this situation?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hello... My advice would be to find a lawyer that speaks English.... It is my understanding that divorce if both sides agree is very simple.... If monetary/custodial issues aren't involved its a simple form and a one step process...

Good luck....
