Family Law
Family Law Litigation Services
Family-related legal disputes can have a profound impact on both an individual’s private life and their future. Matters such as divorce, child custody, maintenance, division of marital assets, and other family law disputes require careful legal assessment and professional representation.
CEKA Law & Consultancy – Attorney Cihat KAYA provides legal advice and litigation services in family law matters. As every case has its own circumstances, each matter is assessed individually, taking into account the facts of the case, the client’s interests, and the applicable Turkish legislation.
What Is Family Law?
Family law is the area of law governing marriage, divorce, child custody, maintenance, matrimonial property, parentage, adoption, and other legal matters arising from family relationships.
Family law disputes require more than simply understanding the applicable legal rules. They often involve sensitive personal and financial matters that may have long-term consequences. Professional legal guidance can therefore be particularly important from the very beginning of the process.
Divorce Proceedings
When a marriage can no longer reasonably be maintained, either spouse may seek a divorce in accordance with the Turkish Civil Code.
Divorce proceedings involve more than simply ending a marriage. Depending on the circumstances, the court may also need to determine issues relating to child custody, maintenance, compensation, contact arrangements, and the division of marital assets.
CEKA Law & Consultancy – Attorney Cihat KAYA provides legal representation and advice in both contested and uncontested divorce proceedings.
Uncontested Divorce
Where both spouses agree to the divorce and its legal consequences, an uncontested divorce may be possible.
In an uncontested divorce, the parties generally need to reach an agreement on matters such as child custody, contact arrangements, maintenance, compensation, and financial issues arising from the marriage.
The preparation of a legally sound divorce agreement is particularly important to ensure that the parties’ rights and obligations are clearly established.
Contested Divorce
Where the spouses cannot agree on the divorce or its consequences, contested divorce proceedings may be required.
Depending on the circumstances, the court may consider issues such as the breakdown of the marital relationship, the parties’ respective conduct and responsibility, financial circumstances, the welfare of any children, and other relevant evidence.
A carefully prepared case strategy and the proper presentation of evidence can be critical in contested divorce proceedings.
Child Custody
Child custody is one of the most important issues that may arise during divorce or separation proceedings.
Under Turkish family law, decisions concerning custody are primarily guided by the best interests of the child. Factors such as the child’s age, education, living conditions, relationship with each parent, and the parents’ personal and social circumstances may be taken into consideration.
CEKA Law & Consultancy – Attorney Cihat KAYA provides legal assistance in custody disputes and represents clients throughout the relevant legal proceedings.
Child and Spousal Maintenance
Turkish family law provides for different forms of maintenance, depending on the circumstances of the parties and the nature of the claim.
These may include temporary maintenance during divorce proceedings, child maintenance, and maintenance following divorce where the statutory requirements are satisfied.
The amount of maintenance may depend on factors such as the parties’ financial circumstances, income, needs, and the specific circumstances of the case.
Legal proceedings may also arise concerning the increase, reduction, or termination of existing maintenance payments.
Financial and Non-Financial Compensation
In certain divorce cases, one spouse may have grounds to seek financial or non-financial compensation from the other spouse.
Such claims may arise where the legal requirements are satisfied and may depend on matters including the parties’ respective responsibility for the breakdown of the marriage, financial losses, and infringement of personal rights.
Each compensation claim should be assessed individually, taking into account the facts and evidence available in the particular case.
Division of Marital Assets and Matrimonial Property
The end of a marriage may also give rise to disputes concerning the division of property acquired during the marriage.
Depending on the applicable matrimonial property regime, issues may arise concerning acquired assets, separate property, contributions made by either spouse, and claims arising from the matrimonial property regime.
A detailed review of the parties’ assets, acquisition dates, financial contributions, and the applicable property regime may be necessary to determine the legal position.
CEKA Law & Consultancy – Attorney Cihat KAYA provides legal advice and representation in matrimonial property and asset division disputes.
Parental Contact and Child Arrangements
A parent who does not have custody may generally have the right to maintain a personal relationship with their child, subject to the child’s best interests and the relevant court arrangements.
Where parents cannot agree on contact arrangements, the court may determine the appropriate arrangements after considering the child’s age, needs, welfare, and the circumstances of both parents.
The objective is to protect the child’s best interests while also ensuring that the legal rights of the parents are properly considered.
Parentage and Other Family Law Proceedings
Family law also covers legal proceedings concerning parentage and the establishment or challenge of a legal parent-child relationship.
Depending on the circumstances, proceedings may involve paternity, denial of parentage, or correction and establishment of parentage.
Such cases can involve strict legal requirements and procedural deadlines. A detailed legal assessment is therefore particularly important before proceedings are initiated.
