How to Get Divorced in Turkey?
Divorce in Turkey is a legal procedure that can be challenging for both spouses, especially if one of them is a foreign citizen.
The process requires not only knowledge of local laws but also safeguarding the interests of the parties involved, which is possible with the support of a qualified lawyer.

Mutual Consent Divorce in Turkey
A mutual consent divorce in Turkey (uncontested divorce in Turkey) is possible if the spouses have been married for at least one year and agree on all issues, including property division, child custody, and alimony terms. This type of divorce can be completed within a month with an agreement in place. Both spouses must be ready for amicable resolution without mutual claims.
I always recommend my clients seeking a peaceful and quick resolution to take advantage of this option. The support of a lawyer in such a process is essential to correctly prepare all documents and protect the interests of the parties.
Contested Divorce in Turkey
If no agreement is reached, the process turns into a contested divorce. A contested divorce in Turkey requires court proceedings and can be based on several grounds:
- Irreconcilable conflicts
- Adultery
- Violence, threats, or abuse
- Desertion by one spouse for an extended period
- Serious breaches of marital obligations and immoral behavior
A contested divorce in Turkey requires thorough preparation of evidence and active participation in court proceedings. As an experienced lawyer in Turkey, I represent the client's interests at all stages, from preparing the necessary documents to defending their position in court.
Divorce in Turkey with a Foreign Spouse
The divorce process involving a foreign spouse requires special attention to the international aspects of the law and the potential recognition of the divorce in Turkey in the second spouse’s country. An experienced lawyer can help navigate the specifics of the process, from filing a petition to resolving residence permit issues after the divorce in Turkey.

Legal Consequences of Divorce in Turkey
After a divorce in Turkey, important legal consequences arise, shaping the future of the spouses and their children. Key aspects include:
-
Custody, alimony, and property division
After a divorce in Turkey, the court decides on child custody (usually granted to the mother), alimony is calculated individually, and property acquired during the marriage is divided equally unless a prenuptial agreement states otherwise.
-
Change of visa status
Foreign spouses with family residence permits must change their status by applying for a new residence permit to legally remain in Turkey.
-
Recognition of the divorce abroad
For foreign citizens, it is crucial to have their divorce recognized in their home country. In some cases, additional procedures may be required to ensure the Turkish divorce holds legal validity abroad.
