The divorce case fees and expenses for 2024 are calculated according to certain criteria according to the Turkish Justice System, and these fees may change from year to year. Items such as the divorce case fee, attorney fees and other expenses may vary depending on the type and complexity of the case.
1. Case Fee
The case fee you must pay when filing a divorce case is calculated at a certain rate according to the Turkish Legal System and is updated according to changing rates every year. As of 2025:
Divorce Case Fee (General Fee): It is around 1,418 TL for 2024. This fee is the fee that must be paid only for filing the divorce case.
Additional Fees: If there are other requests during the case (such as alimony, property division, custody of children), additional fees may be paid for these requests. These fees vary according to the amount requested.
2. Attorney Fees
The attorney fee for a divorce case is determined by the contract to be made with the attorney, and each attorney may have different fee policies. In Turkey, attorney fees can be determined according to a certain minimum fee schedule, but fees may vary depending on the experience of the attorney and the type of case.
Minimum Fee Schedule: Attorney fees for 2024 are generally calculated based on the value of the case. An average fee in divorce cases can range from 5,000 TL to 20,000 TL.
Complexity of the Case: Contested divorce cases can be more expensive than consensual divorces because there will be more procedures, evidence presentation, and witness hearings.
3. Evidence Expenses
In contested divorce cases, the evidence to be presented by the parties also creates additional costs. For example:
Calling Witnesses: Expenses may be incurred for calling witnesses to court and hearing them.
Expert Fees: An expert report may be requested, especially on issues such as property division and alimony. The expert witness fee is also an additional cost.
4. Other Expenses
Posting Fees: Postage fees may be paid for sending the case documents to the other party.
Court Expenses: Expenses for the courtroom and other necessary arrangements may also be included in the case.
Divorce case fee: Around 1,418 TL as of 2025.
Lawyer fee: May vary between 5,000 TL and 20,000 TL (depending on the complexity of the case).
Additional expenses: Expenses such as calling witnesses and expert reports may increase depending on the content of the case.
Since divorce cases may vary depending on the requested alimony, property division and other arrangements, expenses may also vary from person to person. The total cost may increase depending on the complexity of the case.
