Divorce and Family Law Assistance in Alanya

An Alanya divorce lawyer can assist Turkish and foreign spouses with divorce, child custody, maintenance, matrimonial property and recognition of foreign court decisions. The correct procedure depends on where the spouses live, their nationalities, the place of marriage and whether they agree on all consequences of the divorce.

Attorney Enes Nergiz is registered with the Antalya Bar Association under registration number 6281 and provides legal assistance in English, Russian and Turkish.

Consensual and Contested Divorce

A consensual divorce may be possible when the legal conditions are met and both spouses agree on divorce, custody, contact with children, maintenance, compensation and property-related issues. Their agreement must be recorded clearly in a protocol and approved by the court.

If agreement cannot be reached, a contested divorce may involve evidence about the grounds for divorce and separate requests concerning children, financial support, compensation and protective measures. Jurisdiction and service abroad should be assessed before filing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Must both spouses attend a consensual divorce hearing?

Turkish courts generally hear both spouses personally in consensual divorce cases. The court must be satisfied that the agreement reflects their free will.

Can a foreign divorce judgment be used in Turkey?

It may require recognition or enforcement, depending on the judgment and the intended legal effect in Turkey.

Is divorce automatically linked to property division?

No. Divorce and matrimonial-property claims are legally connected but may follow different procedures and limitation periods.
