Divorce Process Without Presence

Summary

In Turkey, a spouse can initiate divorce proceedings even if the other spouse is abroad. While appointing a lawyer is not mandatory, it is advisable for representation, especially when one party is not physically present. The process can take several months, depending on court schedules and complexity. If affordability is an issue, exploring legal aid services or organizations that offer assistance might be beneficial.
