As of 2024, the fee for preparing a divorce petition varies according to the fee schedule determined by the lawyers. These fees may vary depending on the experience of the lawyer, the region where he/she works, the type of case (contested or consensual) and the price policy determined by the lawyer.
Divorce Petition Fees
Consensual Divorce Petition: Since these are cases that are generally shorter and require less legal workload, the fee for a consensual divorce petition may be lower. This fee can range between 500 TL and 1,500 TL on average.
Contested Divorce Petition: In contested divorces, the preparation of the petition may be more expensive, as it requires more documents, witnesses, evidence and legal analysis. In this case, the fee may range between 1,500 TL and 5,000 TL.
Legal Service Fees
You may need to pay to consult with a lawyer or reach an agreement with a lawyer before filing for divorce. This fee is also usually charged per hour or per case.
Fee per Case: In contested divorces, lawyers may charge a fee per case. This fee can range from 2,000 TL to 7,000 TL depending on the experience of the lawyer.
Things to Consider
Initial Consultation Fee: Some lawyers may charge a fee for the initial consultation. This fee can range from 200 TL to 500 TL.
Additional Expenses: During the divorce case, additional expenses such as court fees, postage fees, and witness fees may also occur. These are usually paid by the person filing the case.
