I need some help.
I am a British citizen and I have been married to a turkish man for almost 6 months now and we have a 5 month old son together, who has dual citizenship, ( turkish citizenship card and a British passport) he was also born in turkey. I want to get a divorce on the grounds that my husband can be very violent and has, on many occasions hit me. However, I am terrified that I will not get custody of my son, and I cannot leave him, this is the reason I am still here. If I go back home I will live with one of my parents, both of whom have their own houses, jobs and my father is quite wealthy. Whereas, my husbands family are rather poor however, they will be giving their land to a contractor soon to build apartments. Any help or advice will be much appreciated.

Dear Guest,
First of all you can file a divorce case against your husband and also ask the family court to give restriction order against your husband if he is using physical violence on you. The judge would look at the evidence and decide if a restriction order is necessary.
Your baby is only 5 months as you mentioned before. In this case the custody will most probably given to you as the baby needs your care.
However, I would highly recommend that you consult a lawyer before making any decisions and taking any steps.
Best regards,
