In TRNC, there are two forms of divorce cases that can be filed according to Family Law No.1/98 these are “Consensual Divorce” and “Disputed Divorce”.
Consensual Divorces are where parties have agreed to the terms and conditions of the divorce settlement, such as the distribution of the properties owned, child custody and maintenance. As a result, compared with disputed cases, these divorce settlements are concluded in a shorter period of time.
On the contrary to the above, “Disputed Divorce” occur due to conflict between parties. In the event the parties to the settlement fail to come to an agreement on the terms and conditions of the divorce, the case will be opened by one party against the other and all disagreements will be resolved in the presence of a judge. Parties usually apply for this form of divorce case, where they would like to have the custody of their child, maintenance and subsistence to be paid, to be eligible to claim compensation in the event of wrongful act during the marriage period or for the division of the shares of the properties owned during the union of the marriage.
The monetary amalgamation between spouses is ended in the event of the divorce. Usually the main dispute arises from the legal consequences of annulment across the division of property. In marriages, spouses not only act with family ties and common feelings but also in economic terms and conditions. According to our laws and legislations, parties needs to share the assets obtained during the continuation of the marriage in a reasonable and fair manner, taking into account the principles such as the contribution and involvement to the marriage.
