What is alimony?

Alimony is a regular payment made to support a spouse or child during or after divorce. Turkish law recognizes several types, such as interim, child (participation), poverty and support alimony. The amount is set by the judge, considering the parties income and assets, fault, the child needs and the principle of equity.

How is estimated alimony calculated?

There is no fixed statutory rate; in practice a certain percentage of the obligor income may be used as a reference. This tool applies the rate you select (e.g. 15%–25%) to the monthly net income you enter to provide a rough estimate. The actual ruling may differ.

Example

For an obligor with a monthly net income of 40,000 TL, selecting a 20% rate shows an estimated monthly alimony of 8,000 TL. This is only a starting estimate.

Types of alimony

Interim alimony is awarded during the case, participation alimony for the child, and poverty alimony for a spouse who would fall into poverty because of the divorce.
