Child Support (İştirak Nafakası) in Turkey | Legal Overview Without Calculations

 

In Turkish law, child support (iştirak nafakası) is a financial obligation imposed on the parent who does not have custody of the child after divorce. This payment ensures that the child's basic needs, such as education, health, food, and shelter, are met until adulthood.

 

Who Pays Child Support?

The parent who is not granted custody (typically the father or mother who does not live with the child) is legally obligated to contribute financially. The amount is determined based on the financial situation of both parents and the needs of the child.

 

What Does It Cover?

• School and education expenses
• Basic living costs
• Healthcare and insurance
• Housing, clothing, food, and social needs

 

Legal Procedure

• Requested as part of the divorce case or filed separately
• The Family Court evaluates financial capacity and child’s needs
• Child support continues until the child becomes of legal age (or longer if still studying)
