Dear all,

My Turkish boyfriend filed for divorce nearly 11 months ago. He is married with his wife since November 2007, they have no kids. Since beginning of 2008 they are not living together anymore and finally my boyfriend filed for divorce last year.

In between there have already been three hearings and tomorrow the fourth one will take place in his absence. His lawyer said, she assumes after this hearing there will be not more than one more hearing and then divorce should be done.
I heard as well that usually not more than four hearings will take place and after that judge will deliver the divorce decree. Is that true or is it just a baseless rumor?
I´m asking because I did contact a Turkish lawyer last year, who told me that -due to the fact that his wife not agrees to the divorce- the process can take up to three years...

Thanks for your help,
Shaina
