What Types of Alimony Exist in Divorce? Alimony Procedures in Antalya

In divorce proceedings, courts may rule on different forms of alimony. In Antalya—especially in Muratpaşa, Konyaaltı, Kepez and Lara—alimony is often a key component of the process.

Which Types of Alimony Are There in Divorce?

• Poverty alimony: Awarded to the spouse whose financial situation worsens due to the divorce.

• Child support (participation alimony): Paid by the parent who does not have custody for the child’s expenses.

• Interim alimony: Granted temporarily while the case is pending.

• Family assistance alimony: Support among close relatives when one is in need (not directly related to divorce in most cases).

How Do Alimony Procedures Work in Antalya?

Family courts in Antalya may order interim alimony at the outset of the case. Once the judgment becomes final, poverty and/or child support may be set on a longer-term basis. Unpaid alimony can be enforced through execution proceedings.

Can Alimony Be Increased or Decreased?

Yes. If there is a significant change in the parties’ financial circumstances, an action may be filed to increase or decrease alimony. Such cases are common in Antalya.
