Family law and divorce in Kayseri
In Kayseri, divorce, alimony, custody and matrimonial property cases are heard by the family courts at the Kayseri Courthouse; in districts without a family court, the civil court of first instance hears these cases. A divorce action may be filed where either spouse resides, or where the spouses lived together for the last six months before the action.

Frequently asked questions
What are the requirements for an uncontested divorce?
The marriage must have lasted at least one year, and the spouses must apply together or one must accept the action filed by the other. The judge hears both spouses in person and grants the divorce if the arrangement (protocol) on the financial consequences and the children is found appropriate.
Is property divided in the divorce action?
Liquidation of the property regime may be requested together with the divorce, but it is heard as a separate action and is concluded only after the divorce judgment becomes final. Under the regime of participation in acquired property, each spouse is entitled to half of the net value of the property the other acquired during the marriage.
What kinds of alimony can be claimed?
Interim alimony for the spouse and children may be claimed while the case is pending. A spouse who would fall into poverty because of the divorce and is not more at fault may claim poverty alimony, and the spouse granted custody may claim child support. If circumstances change, an increase or reduction can be requested.
