Contested Divorce Attorney Fees and Expenses | Antalya Legal Guide

Contested divorce cases are filed when spouses cannot reach an agreement on custody, alimony, property division or compensation. These cases are common in Muratpaşa, Konyaaltı, Kepez, Lara and other districts of Antalya, and both the process and the costs are often a matter of concern.

Attorney fees are based on:

• Minimum Fee Schedule: Published annually by the Union of Turkish Bar Associations (TBB).
• Private Fee Agreement: Depends on case complexity, evidence, property disputes, attorney’s experience and time spent.

• Court Fees: Filing and decision fees.
• Advance on Expenses: For notifications, experts, discovery, and witnesses.
• Expert Fees: Especially for property division or child custody.
• Witness Expenses: Summoning and attendance costs.
• Attorney Fee Risk: The losing party may also be ordered to pay the other side’s attorney fee.

Generally, the losing party is ordered to pay court costs. In some cases, the court may divide costs between the parties.
