Participation Alimony: Paid for the care, education and needs of the children.
Aid Alimony: Paid for the mother, father or other relatives who need financial support.
2. Factors Determining the Amount of Alimony
When determining the amount of alimony, the court takes the following criteria into consideration:
Spouse’s Income Status: The amount of alimony to be paid is calculated by taking into account the income level of a person earning 20 thousand TL.
Spouse’s Needs: The financial situation, needs and whether the spouse requesting alimony is employed are important.
Number and Needs of Children: If alimony is to be paid for children, the children’s ages, education expenses and general living standards are taken into consideration.
Fault Status in Divorce: The fault of the party requesting alimony may affect the amount of alimony.
3. Average Alimony Amounts
For a person earning 20 thousand TL, the courts generally apply the following rates:
Participation Alimony (For Children): 15% – 25% of the salary can be paid as alimony per child.
Example:
For 1 child: 3,000 TL – 5,000 TL
For 2 children: 6,000 TL – 8,000 TL

4. Number of Children and Total Alimony
If alimony is to be paid for both the spouse and the children, the court determines an amount that generally does not exceed 40-50% of the alimony payer’s salary.
Example:
1 spouse + 1 child: Total 7,000 TL – 10,000 TL
1 spouse + 2 children: Total 10,000 TL – 12,000 TL
5. Increase in the Alimony Amount
Alimony is increased each year by the CPI (Consumer Price Index). The amount to be paid may be re-evaluated annually.
The amount of alimony to be paid by a person earning a salary of 20 thousand TL is determined by the court according to the income and expense status of the parties. In general, an amount not exceeding 40-50% of the salary is assigned as alimony. However, the specific conditions of the case and the economic situations of the parties are taken into account for the exact figures.
