Dear Clothespeg,

You can send an e-mail to Izmir Bar Assoc. info@izmirbarosu.org.tr to request an attorney who speaks German.

Your friend has rights under Turkish Law. Her husband can not decide on parental right by himself. Only the court can do so.

Also she has equal property rights with her husband. Even if she did not run the pansiyon, she would; but in this case she absolutely has. She really should consult an attorney in Izmir.

Regards,

Ahu
