To Which Court Is a Divorce Case Filed?

Domestic violence, widely known among the public and known as severe incompatibility in the old law, meaning the fundamental undermining of the marital union, is one of the most important reasons for divorce. Severe incompatibility is accepted as a general ground for divorce in the Turkish Civil Code. In addition to this, there are also specific reasons that lead to divorce. Adultery, commission of a crime by one of the spouses, leading a dishonorable life, attempt on life, violence, substance abuse, desertion, mental illness, etc., are accepted as specific grounds for divorce. Divorce cases are heard "in the Family Court." If there is no family court, civil courts of first instance handle these cases. Which family court will hear the case is determined by the place where the spouses have resided for the last six months. To file a lawsuit, a petition requesting divorce must be prepared. The legal process begins with this petition. If the divorce is to be by mutual consent, a divorce protocol must also be attached to this petition. The divorce protocol is a document showing that the spouses have agreed on all matters related to the divorce. Having this document prepared by a Çekmeköy divorce lawyer will prevent the spouses from experiencing any loss of rights. This document, prepared with the consent of both spouses, is important for clarifying issues such as property division, custody, division of household items, compensation, and alimony. The court fee must be paid to file a divorce case. Lawyer fees are also among the expenses added to the cost of the lawsuit during this process.
