Family law is the branch of law that governs marriage, divorce, legal relationships between spouses, property regimes, kinship, custody, and other legal proceedings arising from family relationships.
Nacar Law provides legal support to its clients in disputes arising from family law, taking into account the clients’ privacy and the sensitive nature of the process, and tailoring its approach to the specific circumstances of each case.
The Scope of Family Law
The fundamental provisions governing family law in Turkey are set forth in the Turkish Civil Code No. 4721. In addition, depending on the nature of the dispute, provisions from other relevant legislation may also apply.
Marriage and divorce, the mutual rights and obligations of spouses, property regimes, alimony, parentage, custody, and guardianship are among the primary legal relationships covered by family law.
Because disputes arising from family law can directly affect individuals’ private lives and the well-being of children, it is important to carefully evaluate each case within its own specific context.

Divorce and the Legal Consequences of Divorce
Divorce cases may be conducted as uncontested or contested proceedings, depending on the issues in dispute between the parties and the specific circumstances of the case. The granting of a divorce not only brings the marriage to an end but may also give rise to various legal consequences for the parties and, if applicable, their children.
Issues such as alimony, compensatory and punitive damages, custody, visitation rights, and the division of marital property may arise during the divorce proceedings or, depending on the circumstances, in separate legal proceedings.
Since the circumstances of every divorce case are different, it is important to evaluate the parties’ claims and legal situations in light of the specific facts of the case.
Custody, Child Support, and the Legal Status of Children
The protection of children’s rights and interests plays a significant role in family law. When determining which parent should be granted custody in the event of a divorce or separation, the child’s best interests are one of the primary criteria.
Issues such as custody, establishing a personal relationship with the child, and child support are evaluated in light of the child’s needs and the specific circumstances of the case.
If circumstances change over time, it may become legally necessary to modify existing arrangements regarding custody, visitation, or child support.
Disputes Arising from Property Regimes and Family Law
The property regime between spouses establishes the legal framework for the assets acquired during the marriage and their division upon the dissolution of the marriage.
The provisions applicable to the liquidation of a property regime may vary depending on the date of marriage, the property regime chosen by the spouses, the manner in which the property was acquired, and other characteristics of the specific case.
