Divorce for Foreign Nationals in Türkiye: Expert Legal Consulting
Navigating a divorce in Türkiye as an expat involves complex legal hurdles—from International Private Law to residency permit protection. SR Global Consulting provides a strategic roadmap to resolve your case quickly, protecting your assets, custody rights, and legal status.

1. Applicable Law: Which Country’s Law Applies?
Determining the governing law is the first step in a Turkish divorce case. Under the Turkish International Private and Procedural Law (MÖHUK):
Common National Law: If both spouses share the same nationality, their home country’s laws apply.
Joint Residence Law: If spouses have different nationalities, Turkish Law applies due to their shared residence in Türkiye.
Default Jurisdiction: In all other cases, the provisions of the Turkish Civil Code are enacted to protect the parties.

2. Fast-Track vs. Contested Divorce Solutions
We offer tailored strategies based on the level of agreement between spouses:
Agreed Divorce (Uncontested)
For marriages lasting at least one year where both parties agree on all terms.
The Result: Finalized in a single hearing.
Our Service: We draft an internationally valid “Divorce Protocol” covering all financial and custodial agreements.
Contested Divorce
When agreement on custody, alimony, or property division cannot be reached.
The Strategy: We gather global evidence, manage international service of process, and provide aggressive representation in Turkish Family Courts.

3. Specialized International Legal Services
Foreigners face unique logistical challenges that we are equipped to handle:
International Service of Process: We prevent years of delay by ensuring legal notices are served correctly across borders.
Custody & Child Support: We secure enforceable, cross-border court orders regarding your children’s welfare.
