Dear Ysil,

Your neighbour has to receive that notification sent from the Turkish court, or else she will be deemed to have received it. In this matter, she won't be aware of the claims directed towards herself from the claimant part. She may prefer not to receive it for not covering up that distance to the embassy, but she must know that her rights can't be defended and protected in such a case.

It's true that a divorce verdict in a foreign country can't be recognized and executed in Turkish registry office automatically as I've stated in my prior message. It can merely be executed in Turkey by filing a recognition case in Turkish courts.

She will need to file another case for claiming her rights on the properties you mentioned in your prior message. However, this won't be a tazminat case, but a case for the property regimes. Tazminat means compensation in Turkish and it can be claimed withing the case of divorce as well. Yet, the case for clarifying and fixing which properties acquired during marriage belong to which spouse is something other than tazminat case and has to be filed in a separate case from divorce.

To hire a lawyer in Turkey would definitely be in her favour. In this circumstance, the notifications will be delivered to that laywer and he/she will follow the case up professionally in accordance with your neighbour's benefits and interests without losing any rights.

Best wishes.
