Hi Konuk
We have been married (civil marriage) for 11 years which took place in Gretna green.
For the last 5 years we have lived in Turkey, have no property in the uk, no children and no property issues here in Turkey. What i need to know as we both domicile here can we get divorced here ?
If so what is the procedure ?
Many thanks.

Dear Guest,
Divorce actions can be carried on in two different, by either consensual or contentious ways in Turkey.
If you and your spouse mutually agreed on the conditions of divorce in terms of the first option above, you can file it wherever you wish to open the case within the borders of Turkey. In case of a contentious suit, you can still bring this case to the courts in Turkey(where your common domicile is with your spouse) provided that your common national law rules shall be applied(presuming that you are both having the same nationality).
Hope this helps.
