Family Law

Family law forms an important part of civil law and is examined under three main headings: marriage, kinship and guardianship. Balaban Law Office carries out comprehensive and diligent work in disputes and cases falling within the scope of family law.

Marriage law governs marriage, divorce, the general provisions of marriage and the matrimonial property regimes between spouses. We provide representation and consultancy in engagement, marriage, divorce, custody, alimony, property-regime and parentage disputes — both between Turkish citizens and between a Turkish citizen and a foreign national.
