Legal Question in Family Law in Turkey

Re: Child Custody/ Guardianship

First you must bring a suit in Istanbul for this. But there is a lot of requirements that the court will ask for. These are .

1. You must look after your cousin for 1 year before suit.(You must invite him to Canada for 1 year or if you or your husband will be in Turkey for 1 year even in interchange it will be ok.)

2. Both partners will agree at court for this.

3. You must be married for 5 years or you must both over 30 years old.

4. You must both older than your cousin at least 18 years.

5. If he/she 11 years old, must come to court and agree for this.

6. His/Her parents come to court and agree for this.

(If the other requirements are ok, the first one can be arranged.)

Please do not hesitate for any other questions.

Thanks
