• Divorce Cases and Procedures
Divorce cases are divided into two as uncontested divorce and contentious divorce.
Due to the rapid progress of the process, it is seen that in cases where it is possible to reach an agreement between the parties, uncontested divorce is preferred. However, in cases where the spouses do not agree on every issue, contentious divorce is preferred.
In the field of divorce cases, Istanbul's best lawyer Attorney Meral Kurçaloğlu Behanova provides services in both uncontested divorce and contentious divorce. In contentious divorces, issues such as child custody, alimony measures and compensation are also on the agenda.
• Custody Cases
For divorcing spouses, the issue of custody of joint children will be decided by the Court that will decide on the divorce. However, even after the divorce, if there are justified reasons, a lawsuit may be filed for the change of custody. In the event that there are fundamental changes in the situation of the party to whom the custody is entrusted or in the situation of the child, and if these changes are continuous, a change of custody can be requested.
Taking into account the international agreements to which our country is a party, it is ensured that the opinion of the child is also taken when the child reaches a certain level of understanding and expression. If the requests for change of custody are deemed justified by the Court, a change of custody decision will be made in this direction.
• Paternity and Denial of Paternity Cases
Paternity action; children born out of wedlock are common in society. Most of the time, the biological father does not acknowledge the child, which makes it necessary to file a paternity action. Today, paternity can be proved definitively with DNA tests. A paternity action can be brought by the mother or by a trustee appointed to the child. The lawsuit ensures that the child is registered with the biological father and gains inheritance rights. The mother can also claim compensation and alimony.
The action for denial of paternity is filed by the father and aims to remove the legal link with the child registered in his name in the civil registry. The child born during the marriage or within three hundred days after the divorce is registered in the husband's civil registry. However, if the husband is not the biological father or if the real father is someone else, a lawsuit for denial of paternity can be filed.
• Alimony and Compensation Cases
There are three types of alimony to be requested during the divorce process. Precautionary alimony, which will be awarded in the divorce case, will be paid for the spouse who will fall into financial difficulty during the divorce process. Contribution alimony is granted to participate in the maintenance costs of joint children. Poverty alimony is awarded for the spouse who will lose his/her financial standard after the divorce, based on the social situation research and investigation to be conducted by the court.
There are three different types of alimony that can be requested in divorce cases. These are; precautionary alimony, poverty alimony and subsidiary alimony (child maintenance alimony). The purposes of these three alimony types are different from each other. Precautionary alimony may be paid to one of the parties during the divorce proceedings due to the hardship of one of the parties. While alimony for participation (child maintenance alimony) is granted to meet the needs of the child, alimony for poverty is granted to the person who will lose his/her financial standard after the divorce.
In addition, a lawsuit for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages can be filed against the at-fault spouse in order to compensate for the damage suffered.

• Marriage Procedures and Certification
When it comes to marriage procedures and certification, marriage procedures must be duly performed in order for the marriage to be legally recognized. These procedures include steps such as applying for a civil marriage, issuing a marriage certificate and registering the marriage. In this process, we assist couples in applying for marriage, obtaining the necessary documents and delivering them to the competent authorities.
• Division of Family Property
The division of family property is one of the most important issues of family law. In cases where the parties have not agreed on another property regime agreement, the current property regime is the regime of participation in acquired property. The property regime will be terminated upon the Court's decision to annul the marriage or to dissolve the marriage due to divorce or divorce, or to switch to separation of property. In this process, a property regime liquidation lawsuit is filed and followed after the divorce in order to divide the family property. In the liquidation of the property regime, the values of the goods at the time of liquidation are taken into consideration. The spouses' personal property and acquired property will be separated according to their status at the time of the termination of the property regime.
Likewise, if the assets of the other spouse are insolvent, if his/her share in the partnership has been seized, if the other spouse has jeopardized the interests of the claimant or the partnership, or if he/she withholds his/her consent for a disposition transaction on the property of the partnership without a justifiable reason, or if he/she refrains from informing the other spouse about his/her assets, income, debts or partnership property, the existing regime is requested to be converted to separation of property.
• Recognition and Enforcement Procedures
