Under Turkish Civil Code, we play a critical role in divorce cases to prevent loss of rights and complete the process with minimal damage.
Family Law, regulated by the Turkish Civil Code, is a branch of law that covers a wide area from the establishment to the termination of the marriage union and deeply affects individuals' lives. Lawyers known as "Divorce Attorneys" play a critical role in preventing loss of rights and completing the process with minimal psychological/financial damage.
📊 Important Information
An average of 150,000 divorce cases are filed in Turkey every year. Approximately 40% of these cases result in uncontested divorce.
Family law is not just about "divorce". An expert family law attorney manages the following processes to protect their client's interests:

It is the fastest and most cost-effective divorce method.
Cases where spouses cannot agree.
The court does not look at the superiority of the "mother" or "father" in custody decisions, but at the "Best Interest of the Child" principle. The child's age, educational status, parents' lifestyle and relationship with the child are determinative.
Where is a Divorce Case Filed?
The competent court is the Family Court at the residence of either spouse or the place where they lived together for the last 6 months before the case.
What Evidence is Used in Divorce Cases?
Any lawfully obtained evidence (WhatsApp messages, hotel records, witness statements, battery reports, bank statements, etc.) can be used. Illegally obtained evidence through spyware or hidden cameras is not accepted by the court.
I Got Divorced Abroad, Is It Valid in Turkey?
No, it is not directly valid. A Recognition and Enforcement Case must be filed in Turkey for the foreign court decision to have effect in Turkey.
Why is Professional Support Important?
The divorce process is not only legal but also psychological. A wrongly prepared protocol or incomplete evidence can result in lifelong alimony obligations or loss of custody.
