Divorce, custody, alimony and division of property proceedings.
Because family law concerns people’s most private and sensitive relationships, it demands not only legal knowledge but also an empathetic approach. At Özel & Demir Law and Consultancy, in all family law disputes — from divorce to custody, alimony to division of property — we adopt an approach that prioritises the interests of our clients and their children and favours conciliation wherever possible.
Aware of the emotional weight of the process, we clearly inform our clients of their rights and provide strong legal representation with confidentiality and respect.
At the first meeting we listen to the client’s expectations and priorities and set out the likely outcomes realistically. Where possible we encourage a negotiated settlement; where agreement cannot be reached, we prepare the evidence meticulously and conduct the case so as to prevent any loss of rights. We safeguard the best interests of the children at every stage.
Our team, experienced in family law, combines legal rigour with a humane approach. We maintain transparent communication throughout and defend our clients’ rights with determination.
Where the parties agree on all matters and the protocol is properly prepared, the process is relatively short; seek expert advice for a precise timeframe.
The guiding criterion in custody is the best interests of the child. The court assesses the child’s age and needs and the parties’ circumstances as a whole.
The main types are interim, child-support and spousal (poverty) alimony. The amount and duration are determined by the judge according to the parties’ income and needs.
