Family and Divorce Law

No. Ending a marriage and settling the matrimonial property regime involve different claims. Acquisition dates, funding and each party’s requests need separate review.

The child’s age, needs, everyday life and care arrangements are considered together. The parties’ requests alone do not determine an outcome. Existing arrangements and the circumstances require a case-specific review.

Chronology of events; Existing orders and agreements; Relevant financial records. Organise these alongside a chronology. Agree how to share sensitive documents before the meeting.

We clarify the relationship history and the parties’ expectations, then review potential agreement, disputed requests and evidence to identify the available procedure.

No. The applicable matrimonial property regime, acquisition date, source of funds, debts and each spouse’s contributions matter. Registration in one spouse’s name alone does not determine the outcome. The claim must be assessed against the records.

Property acquired by inheritance is generally personal property under the participation in acquired property regime. Income from it, spending on it or the other spouse’s contribution may give rise to separate claims. Inheritance, title, payment and improvement records should be reviewed together.

No. Immediate safety needs are addressed separately from divorce. Protective or preventive measures may be requested through 112, law enforcement, the prosecutor, family court or ŞÖNİM. Secure safety first and preserve messages, medical reports and application records.

Prepare the judgment or protocol, information on finality or enforceability, the instalments due and bank records. Accrued arrears and ongoing monthly payments should be separated before enforcement and other routes are assessed.

The title record, actual use as the family home, the other spouse's express consent and any family-home annotation are assessed together. An annotation can strengthen protection, but the transaction date, the third party's position and any urgent interim measure remain important.

Recognition, enforcement or administrative registration may be needed for a foreign judgment to produce effects in Turkish civil records and law. The finality certificate, proper authentication and translation, nationality and service history should be reviewed.
