Greetings,

Several months ago I (UK citizen) and my ex-wife (Turkish citizen) got divorced. We went to court, agree to divorce on the basis of "siddetli gecimsizlik" and the judge granted the divorce. We signed something in the court at the end of the trial and paid a small sum of money to the court. About two weeks later I received and signed for a document from the court, a photocopied version of the court's decision.

Someone recently mentioned that after receiving this document I have to go to the court and sign something else to finalize the divorce. I'll be leaving Turkey very soon and so I would like to make sure all loose ends are tied up. I have no plans to get married at the moment but in case it does happen in the future I want to have any documents ready without the necessity of returning to Turkey.

What is left for me to do to complete the divorce proceedings? Is there some form of decree absolute that I need to pick up somewhere or is that what the document I receive is?

Thank you for any advice.
