Before the contested or uncontested divorce case, the party that has the conditions of the divorce case and has the authority to file a lawsuit will request separation before these cases. Divorce or separation will be decided by the judge by looking at whether the reason for the divorce is proven or not. However, due to the principle of adherence to demand, the judge will not be able to rule on divorce in the face of separation demand. If the divorce requested in the lawsuit is filed, the judge will be able to decide on the separation if he or she considers that it is possible to re-establish the common life. The period given by the judge for separation is between 1 year and 3 years. The date on which the time to be given by the judge will begin is the moment when the separation clause becomes final. The separation will take place with the completion of the time given by the judge. Even if the common life has not been re-established within this period, it will now be possible to file a divorce case. In this case, the judge cannot decide on separation again.
