Depending on jurisdiction and applicable-law rules, foreign spouses living in Türkiye may bring divorce proceedings before Turkish courts. Foreign marriage records and certified translations are generally required.
02How long does an uncontested divorce take?+
If the statutory requirements are met and the settlement protocol is complete, the case may conclude at a single hearing. The actual timetable depends on the court and the file.
03How does a Turkish court decide child custody?+
The child's best interests are paramount. Age, care arrangements, education, health, the relationship with each parent and social-investigation findings may be considered.

Mediation is generally a precondition before filing claims for employee or employer receivables, compensation and reinstatement.
05How is severance pay calculated?+
For eligible employment, each full year generally corresponds to 30 days of the gross wage including regular benefits, subject to the statutory ceiling and deductions.
06How long is the objection period in enforcement proceedings?+
In ordinary non-judgment enforcement, the general period is seven days after service. Bills of exchange and special procedures may have shorter periods.
07When can a tenant be evicted?+
Non-payment, a valid eviction undertaking, genuine need, reconstruction, two justified notices and other statutory grounds may apply, each with distinct notice and filing deadlines.
08Is a mediation settlement binding?+
A settlement signed by the parties and mediator is binding. Depending on the statutory requirements, it may be enforceable as a court-order-equivalent document.
