CASE OF ALIMONY

It regulated the Turkish Civil Code in article 175 of alimony. According to this article; “The party who will fall into poverty due to the divorce may ask for alimony indefinitely on the other hand for his livelihood, provided that his defect is not heavier.” In other words, in order for the spouse to be entitled to alimony in divorce, he must be less defective or flawless than his wife.

It can be decided to pay the financial compensation and poverty support in the form of wholesale or in accordance with the requirements of the situation. The pecuniary damage or alimony that is decided to be paid in the form of iraq will disappear by itself in case of remarriage of the creditor or the death of one of the parties. If the creditor is not married, but lives as if he is married, if his poverty has disappeared or if he lives dignified, compensation or alimony, which is decided to be paid in the form of iraq, is abolished by the court decision. It may be decided to increase or decrease the will, if the financial situation of the parties changes or where equity requires. (TMK art. 176)

As set out in Article 178 of the Turkish Civil Code, the child support case will expire after one year after the finalization of the divorce order. (TMK art. 178)
