Types of Alimony and Custody Matters in Turkey
Spousal Alimony
Courts may award financial support to a spouse depending on financial need, earning capacity, health condition, standard of living, and other legal factors.
Joint Custody
In appropriate cases, both parents may continue to share responsibility for major decisions affecting the child, while practical living arrangements are determined separately.
Sole Custody
Sole custody may be granted when the court determines that the child’s welfare is better protected by one parent having primary legal and physical custody.
Visitation and Access
Even where one parent has custody, the other parent may have visitation rights unless there are compelling legal reasons to limit access.
