Frequently Asked Questions

Divorce Lawyer in Büyükçekmece — FAQ

For an assessment of your specific case, please book an appointment.

Where the parties agree on every issue and the settlement protocol is fully prepared, an uncontested divorce is usually concluded in a single hearing, on average within 1-2 months depending on the court's caseload. The marriage must have lasted at least 1 year.

Contested divorce cases take on average 1-2 years at first instance, depending on the evidence, the number of witnesses, and the court's caseload. Appellate review and cassation can extend this period. Proper management of the evidence shortens the process considerably.

For marriages concluded after 2002, the statutory regime of participation in acquired property applies. Assets acquired during the marriage are, as a rule, shared equally; personal assets (inheritance, pre-marital property) are excluded from the division. The liquidation action is conducted separately from the divorce case itself.

Alimony is set at the judge's discretion, taking into account the parties' financial circumstances, the degree of fault, the child's needs, and the standard of living. For poverty alimony, the spouse claiming it must be facing poverty as a result of the divorce and must not bear the greater fault.
