Turkish judicial rulings on divorce law

Overview

The Turkish Court of Cassation has issued rulings that clarify legal standards for determining fault and financial obligations in divorce proceedings.

In one instance, an Ankara Family Court decision established that failing to attend a spouse’s family funeral can be evaluated as a fault under the Turkish Civil Code. While not an automatic ground for divorce, such behavior can influence legal outcomes regarding asset division and child custody.

In a separate ruling involving a dispute from Istanbul, the Court of Cassation addressed alimony requirements. The court reconsidered a lower court’s order for poverty alimony after determining that the ex-wife’s status as a retiree with a regular monthly income mitigated the risk of economic hardship, particularly as the spouses' earnings were nearly equal.
