Hi
What is your query about divorce?
Where are you resident?
You already have the exact same parental responsibility as the father, and he the same as you. That won't change on divorce. The child arrangements are done separately to the actual divorce in any case, so if you cannot decide how to split the child's time between you, one of you will have to apply to court for a child arrangements order. You can only do that here in England, as you are all habitually resident here. The Turkish courts have no jurisdiction over that.
It doesn't matter where you married when it comes to the child. What matters is where you are habitually resident, which is England.
The divorce has absolutely nothing to do with the child arrangements. They are two separate legal proceedings.

You will never have 'more rights' than your husband. In the eyes of the law you both have the exact same parental responsibility.

Sorry, that's not how it works. You both have the same parental responsibility. If you cannot decide between you how to split the child's time, then one of you applies to court for a child arrangements order and a judge will decide how to split the time.
