Getting behind an opponent

My player had this question about moving behind opponents:

"Do opponents automatically turn to face you when you move around them?"

The way I see it, a player can use a move action to get behind their opponent. Of course, this is usually moot since the opponent would (1) get a chance to free attack on the movement and then be facing you again and (2) get his turn once you've moved and get a chance to turn and attack you.

But I thought I'd ask opinions here, since it's these "that will never come up" situations that ALWAYS come up.

Essentially what I'm saying is that enemies don't automatically turn to face you as you move, but once they initiate any action, they can turn themselves to face any direction they want. So turning in itself is free, but not automatic.
 
It depends on where you were moving from, I'd say.

If there's something "holding" you in place, such as an existing opponent, then you'd propably not turn around, otherwise, I'd imagine you would
