What is a Divorce Petition?
A divorce petition is an official application text submitted to the court due to the marital union being shaken to its foundation, severe incompatibility, or special divorce reasons (adultery, attempt on life, etc.).
What must be included in the petition:
- Chronological narration of events
- Legal reasons and evidence
- Alimony and custody requests
- Material and moral compensation
Lextum automatically creates a draft according to the selected divorce type (Consensual/Contested).
Types of Divorce Petitions
1Consensual Divorce
It is a type of petition under TMK 166/3, where the parties agree with a protocol and the explanation of reasons is kept short.
2Contested Divorce
It is the type where events and evidence are written in detail due to 'shaking of the union to its foundation' (TMK 166/1) or severe incompatibility.
3Special Reasons
These are petitions based on special legal reasons such as adultery, attempt on life, desertion, committing a crime, or mental illness, with different burdens of proof.
