Hi Slavka,

The divorce proceedings should be finalized in Turkish Courts. However you do not have to be present in Turkey for this. Should you wish so, you may appoint a lawyer (by issuing a power of attorney in Slovakia) to follow the court case on your behalf.

Please bear in the mind that the duration of the marriage must be more than a year when you would like to apply the divorce wiht consent.
