It is not possible to file a divorce case directly via e-government. However, the e-government platform allows some transactions related to divorce cases to be carried out. Here is information about the transactions that can be carried out via e-government and the process of filing a divorce case:
1. Transactions That Can Be Made Via E-government
Access to Court Decisions: Court decisions and case results regarding divorce cases can be accessed via e-government. If there is a previously filed case, the results of this case can be learned via e-government.
Legal Aid Application: People with low income may have difficulty conducting legal transactions such as divorce cases. By applying for legal aid via e-government, you can benefit from the legal aid provided by the state for the case.
Case Fees and Charges: E-government can be used to get information about the fees and expenses you need to pay when filing a divorce case and to make payments.
2. Divorce Case Filing Process
To file a divorce case, an application must be made to the Family Court. The application method may vary depending on situations such as contested divorce or consensual divorce.
Consensual Divorce: If the spouses mutually accept the divorce and have agreed on issues such as property sharing and child custody, a consensual divorce case can be filed. For this case, a petition must be prepared and submitted to the court.
Contested Divorce: If there is a disagreement between the spouses and there is a disagreement on the terms of the divorce, a contested divorce case is filed. In this case, it is necessary to apply to the court through a lawyer.
Note: The divorce case must be submitted to the court with a written application and relevant documents. Direct applications cannot be made via e-government.
3. Divorce Petition and Related Documents
The documents required for the divorce case, petitions and request letters, can be prepared by lawyers. If you are not working with a lawyer, you can prepare the divorce petition yourself and submit it to the court.
The divorce petition must include issues such as the spouses’ identity information, marriage date, reasons for divorce, and custody of children, if any.
