Abstract:

Alimony is a partly continuation of the obligation of mutual aid and solidarity between the spouses during marriage, after the marriage. Social and moral considerations are the basis of this obligation. In order to be able to claim alimony, it is necessary to fall into poverty due to divorce and not be more fault than the other party. The fault of the other party is not sought. If these conditions are found, alimony may be demanded indefinitely in proportion to the financial power of the other party. Thus, spouses who have been married for a short period of time are becoming lifelong livelihoods. The dispute between divorced spouses is lifelong.The reasons for divorce in our law include contractual divorce and de facto separation. However, the divorce system was mainly based on the fault principle and the special reasons enumerated in the Law. As an extension of this situation, the party who wants alimony should not be more fault than the other party. As a result, during the divorce and after the divorce, the spouses follow each other and seek each other’s fault. Moreover, even spouses who have been married for a very short period of time may request alimony indefinitely. In the study, the important problems related to alimony, especially those issues were discussed in the light of comparative law
