FAMILY LAW BASICS
Family law in Turkey covers a wide spectrum of issues concerning familial relationships. This encompasses marriage and divorce, child custody, alimony, and adoption, among other related matters. The legislations regarding the aforementioned subjects are within the scope of the Turkish Civil Code and the Code of Civil Procedure.
Navigating these often turbulent legal waters becomes far more manageable with the guidance of a proficient family lawyer who can help you understand the nuances of these laws as they apply to your situation.
Types of Divorce In Turkey
In Turkey, there are two main types of divorce cases which are consensual divorce and contested divorce.
Consensual Divorce
Consensual divorce can be defined as the parties agreeing to divorce with their free will and terminating the marriage contract. The subject is regulated under Article 166/3 of the Turkish Civil Code and considered a divorce on the grounds that the marriage union has been shaken from its foundations. In accordance with the mentioned article; the marriage of the parties should have lasted at least one year, spouses should apply together or one of the parties should accept the case, the marriage is considered to have been shaken from its foundations. The divorce protocol also must cover the financial consequences of the divorce and the situation of the children appropriately.
Contested Divorce
Essentially, all types of divorce cases other than consensual divorce can be called as a contested divorce. Any divorce case in which the spouses do not have an agreement on the divorce or its subsidiaries is a contested divorce case.
Legal Grounds For Contested Divorce
Adultery, ominous or degrading behaviour, committing a crime or living a dishonourable life, abandonment, or shaking the foundation of the marriage union can be considered as the legal basis for divorce.
Procedure Of Divorce Cases In Turkey
The process of divorce in Turkey, whether contested or uncontested, involves several stages. Firstly, there’s the petition filing stage where a spouse files for divorce at the family court. If it is a consensual divorce, the parties submit the divorce protocol they have agreed upon to the court. If there is no deficiency in the protocol, the court decides on the divorce of the parties at the hearing. If it is a contested divorce, the court then sets a date for a preliminary hearing, after one of the parties submits a petition and files a lawsuit, followed by an investigation, trial, and finally, a decision. Issues like alimony, compensation claims, property division, and child custody are usually settled during these stages.
