We both want to divorce. I'm hoping it will be fairly straight forward.
What is the easiest way of proceeding? I'm happy to pop over to Istanbul for a court hearing but don't really know how to get started.
Any advice much appreciated!

Dear Konuk
I think you want a "divorce by mutual consent". You should come to Turkey for hearing once and sign a "divorce agreement" which containing some issues about;
a-)divorce,
b-)alimony,
c-)damages for mental anguish and pecuniary compensation,
d-)kids custody (no need)
e-)Joint properties (no need)
f-)Wife's surname after divorce (if she want to use husband's surname after divorce)
You have to bear that "the sign under the agreement is mine and signed under free decision of me" by the divorce judge.
For this way, your wife starts a divorce lawsuit and then you join it coming to Turkey. Its too easy way.
The second way is general divorce lawsuit. On that way you shouldn't come to Turkey. You give a "power of attorney for divorce" and write a letter to your lawyer (preferably with your own script)and tell your divorce grounds. Than he or she starts the divorce lawsuit, brings witnesses to the court and finishes the lawsuit by the cooperation of your wife.
If you want more information plaese mail me.
