Divorce

Family law is a sub-branch of civil law that regulates legal problems and disputes arising from domestic relations. The main purpose of family law is to ensure the orderly conduct of relations between family members and to resolve possible disputes that may arise in these relations within the framework of the law. Family law covers a wide area covering almost every aspect of family life, such as marriage, divorce, custody, alimony, property division, and adoption. Family law aims to protect the family unit, which is the smallest building block of society, and to secure the rights of individuals.

Family law forms an important part of the Turkish Civil Code and, within the framework of this code, determines the rights and responsibilities of individuals within the family. The regulations in family law cover legal issues that may arise both between spouses and between parents and children. The protection of the family union and the fair resolution of domestic disputes are among the most fundamental functions of family law.

What are the Situations Covered by Family Law?

Family law is a broad field covering various relationships between family members and legal disputes that may arise from these relationships. The main situations covered by family law are as follows:

Marriage and Marriage Contract

Marriage is a union that begins when two individuals decide to live together and is reinforced by a legally binding contract. With marriage, legal rights and responsibilities arise between spouses. These responsibilities include the parties’ obligations of loyalty, help, and solidarity to each other. Marriage also brings into play the property regime, that is, a legal rule that regulates the sharing of goods acquired during the marriage.

A marriage contract is a special agreement that determines the property regime between spouses. Spouses can determine how their assets will be managed and shared with a contract they will make before or after marriage. Although the legal property regime in Turkey is the “regime of participation in acquired property”, if the spouses want to organize the property regime between them differently, they must make a marriage contract in this regard.

Divorce and Divorce Cases

Divorce means the legal termination of the marriage union. Divorce cases are filed in cases where the marriage union becomes unsustainable, and issues such as custody, alimony, and property division are also generally addressed in these cases. Divorce cases are divided into two as uncontested divorce and contested divorce. In an uncontested divorce, the parties agree on all conditions of the divorce, while in a contested divorce, there is a disagreement between the parties on one or more issues.

Certain legal conditions must be met to file a divorce case. For example, a divorce case can be filed for reasons such as the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, severe incompatibility, adultery, and abandonment. During the divorce process, the parties can also receive legal assistance on issues such as property division, alimony, and child custody.

Custody and Alimony

After divorce, issues such as child custody and alimony also have an important place. Custody is about who the children will stay with and who will take care of them. The right of custody is given to one of the parents with an approach that considers the best interests of the child. In addition, the parent who loses the right of custody may be obliged to pay alimony for the child.

Alimony is the financial support that one of the spouses is obliged to provide to the other or their children after divorce. The amount of alimony is determined by the court, taking into account the financial situation of the parties, their living standards, and the needs of the child.

When Can Family Law Cases be Filed?

Family law cases can be filed when a dispute arises between the parties within the scope of family law. These disputes can be on issues such as property division, alimony, and custody that may arise during the marriage or after divorce. For example, if the marriage union is shaken to its foundations and living together has become unbearable for the parties, a divorce case can be filed. Similarly, if there is a dispute regarding property division or if there is an alimony request between the parties, a lawsuit can be filed on these issues as well.

A property division lawsuit is filed to decide how the assets acquired by the spouses during the marriage will be shared. In this case, a division is made by taking into account the contribution shares of the spouses and the assets they acquired during the marriage.
