Hi, me and my partner are getting married next year. We already have a child together. Do u know whether this would be a problem with the turkish law or religion having a child before marriage?

What Turkish religion? Muslim?
Yes, there is a problem having a child out of wedlock if you are Muslim.
Is that what you are asking?
(It has nothing to do with Turkish Law.)

Having a child prior to marriage is pretty much frowned upon by every major religion, but the time to worry about that has passed. If the church won't marry you, have a civil ceremony (non-religious). I can't speak for the law in Turkey but it's not exactly considered to be a very liberal country on social issues or women's issues - do you know someone who lives there and can tell you? And if they won't marry you, get married somewhere else. Do you live in Turkey?
If it's a matter of including family, marry where you live and have a celebration where the family are afterward. If marriage isn't permitted there, there won't be much the family can object to if the marriage does not occur there.
