Yes, you can divorce in the UK even if you married in Turkey, provided your marriage is legally recognized in the UK and you meet jurisdictional requirements. Here’s a step-by-step guide based on UK law and insights from Asher & Tomar Solicitors: Confirm Marriage Validity Your Turkish marriage must be legally valid in the UK. Civil marriages performed in Turkey are typically recognized. Religious-only ceremonies may require additional checks. Ensure you have an official marriage certificate (translated into English if necessary). Jurisdictional Requirements To file for divorce in England/Wales, at least one of the following must apply: You or your spouse are habitually resident in England/Wales. You or your spouse are domiciled in England/Wales. You last lived together as a couple in England/Wales. If none apply, you may need to divorce in Turkey or another eligible country. Grounds for Divorce The UK operates a "no-fault" divorce system (since April 2022). You only need to prove: The marriage has broken down irretrievably. No requirement to cite blame (e.g., adultery, unreasonable behavior). Divorce Process Step 1: Apply Online Submit a joint application (or sole application) via the UK Government portal. Pay the £593 fee. Step 2: Submit Documents Include your marriage certificate and certified translation (if not in English). Provide proof of jurisdiction (e.g., utility bills, residency permits). Step 3: Conditional Order After a mandatory 20-week "reflection period," the court issues a Conditional Order (interim divorce decree). Step 4: Final Order Apply for the Final Order 6 weeks after the Conditional Order. This legally ends the marriage. Financial and Child Arrangements Financial Settlements: These are handled separately from the divorce. You can apply for a Consent Order to formalize agreements. Child Custody: Use the Child Arrangements Order to resolve parenting disputes. Key Considerations Turkish Divorce vs. UK Divorce: A UK divorce is valid in Turkey, but consult a Turkish lawyer if assets/children are there. Legal Advice: Complexities like international assets or jurisdictional disputes require expert guidance. Firms like Asher & Tomar assist with cross-border divorces, paperwork, and negotiations.
