Family Law

Divorce Lawyer and Family Law

Family law is a comprehensive branch of law regulated by the state, covering all processes from engagement to marriage, divorce, and post-divorce matters. Significant reforms and detailed regulations have been introduced in this area with the Turkish Civil Code No. 4721. This legal branch encompasses many topics such as engagement, marriage, divorce, property regimes, alimony, family residence, lineage, adoption, custody, guardianship, trusteeship, and legal consultancy. Disputes arising during the divorce process are among the most common and significant issues in family law. Our office provides services nationwide from Istanbul with experienced divorce lawyers.

What Are the Grounds for Divorce?

Reasons for divorce include social, economic, emotional and physical abuse, infidelity, abandonment, and dishonorable lifestyles. Such situations can be extremely challenging for the parties; therefore, completing the process as quickly as possible is crucial. Divorce cases can be filed as contested or uncontested. Uncontested divorces tend to be less stressful and generally conclude more quickly than contested ones. If the parties have agreed on property division, alimony, custody, and similar issues, it is advisable to opt for uncontested divorce.

The Importance of Following Divorce Cases with an Expert Lawyer

Whether contested or uncontested, obtaining support from an expert divorce lawyer during the divorce process is a critical step to ensure healthy progress. First, an expert lawyer assesses whether the events constitute grounds for divorce, examines the available evidence, and determines whether the case is filed in a timely manner. Those who rely only on sample petitions found on the internet may face serious and difficult-to-remedy legal issues later. For example, missing important clauses in an uncontested divorce agreement or incorrect statements in a contested case may lead to unfavorable outcomes. An expert lawyer takes measures to protect their client and carries out a calm and strategic defense against the opposing party’s claims.

Our office provides reliable and professional support at every stage with experienced divorce lawyers based in Istanbul.
