I am British and have been married to a Turk citizen for 3 years. We have 1 daughter and the apartment we live in was paid for mostly by my father. I was told that the apartment couldn't be in my name as I was not a citizen. However, I was also told that the assests would be shared 50/50 in case of divorce. Now people are telling me that, as my daughter has spent most of her life in Turkey, that it is unlikely that I would be awarded custody. I have been turning myself inside out in order to provide a secure and supportive environment and life for my child in the face of the chaos and lack of structure and guidance that my husband's family finds acceptable. I know if he gets custody, she will be destroyed by them so does this mean I have to live the next 13 years 15 years in Turkey if I want to be with my child??? Please advise. Thank you.
