Property division during the divorce process is one of the most sensitive issues for couples. According to the legal regulations in force in Turkey, the regime of participation in acquired property is taken as basis in marriages made after 2002. Accordingly, the property acquired during the marriage is divided equally between the spouses. However, in this process, the personal property of the parties, assets acquired by inheritance and assets owned before marriage are excluded from sharing. Before filing a lawsuit for property division, it is of great importance for the spouses to determine their assets correctly and receive legal support for the healthy progress of the process.

One of the frequently encountered problems in property sharing is that the parties do not have sufficient information about the type of property regime. If the spouses signed a property regime agreement before marriage, the sharing process will be shaped according to this agreement. However, if such a contract is not made, action is taken according to the principles specified in the law. The parties need to conduct a detailed review, especially regarding investments made and real estate acquired during the marriage. Otherwise, loss of rights may occur and the litigation process may be prolonged.

The burden of proof in property sharing cases is generally on the parties. Therefore, bank records, title deed documents, invoices and other official documents are of great importance. In particular, the legal process can become more complicated if one party attempts to smuggle property from the other. In such a case, the court decides in the light of expert reports and evidence. In order for the parties to receive their rights fairly, it is important that they receive legal support and carry out the process with expert lawyers.

Conducting the post-divorce property sharing process in a healthy manner is an important issue both materially and spiritually. It is a great advantage to get the support of an expert lawyer to ensure that the parties do not lose their rights and that the process progresses quickly.
