Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
We married in Tennessee and got divorced in Turkey after 10 years. Divorce decree is final.
I would like to have court judgment on my divorce in Virginia.
How do I go about it?
Virginia law and legal procedure?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Yes, it's possible that if thiis divorce decree was
done in full compliance with Turkish divorce law, that this decree
could now be registered in the appropriate Virginia court and thus by
doing so would become as valid as if it had originated as
one of Virginia's own divorce decrees.
You should arrange for a consultation with a Virginia attorney
who handles domestic relations matters in the Commonwealth
and who should be able to further explain the procedures to you
and provide as well a reasonably accurate estimate as to what it might cost.
