Single Session Divorce

A single session divorce is the fastest way to legally end a marriage in Turkey. When both spouses agree on the terms of the divorce and meet the legal requirements, the court can finalize the divorce in just one hearing. This process saves both time and costs compared to contested divorce proceedings.

Requirements for Single Session Divorce

To qualify for a single session divorce under Turkish law, the following conditions must be met:

Minimum one year of marriage: The couple must have been legally married for at least one year before filing for an uncontested divorce
Mutual agreement: Both spouses must voluntarily agree to the divorce without any coercion or pressure
Divorce protocol: A written divorce protocol must be prepared and signed by both parties, covering child custody, alimony, property division, and personal compensation
Personal attendance: Both spouses must attend the court hearing in person to confirm their consent before the judge
Judge approval: The judge must find the protocol fair and equitable, particularly regarding the welfare of any minor children

Single Session Divorce Process

The single session divorce process proceeds as follows:

Both spouses consult with a divorce lawyer and agree on divorce terms
The divorce protocol is drafted and signed by both parties
The divorce petition and protocol are filed with the Family Court
The court schedules a hearing, typically within 2 to 6 weeks
Both parties appear before the judge and orally confirm their agreement
The judge reviews the protocol, makes any necessary adjustments, and issues the divorce decree

How Long Does It Take?

A single session divorce is typically concluded within 4 to 8 weeks from the date of filing. The actual court hearing usually lasts only 15 to 30 minutes. The timeline may vary depending on the court's schedule and caseload in the relevant jurisdiction.

Single Session Divorce Fees

The costs associated with a single session divorce include court filing fees, attorney fees, and minor administrative expenses. Since the process involves only one hearing, legal fees are significantly lower than those in contested divorce cases. The exact amount depends on the complexity of the divorce protocol and the attorney's fee schedule.
