Types Of Alimony
ALIMONY FOR POVERTY
Alimony is the alimony requested by the party who will fall into poverty due to divorce from the other party in order to ensure his/her livelihood indefinitely in proportion to his/her financial power. The alimony obligor is not required to be at fault. However, his/her fault should not be more severe than the other party.
PARTICIPATION ALIMONY
It is the alimony ordered against the spouse who does not have custody of the child in order to meet the education, care and other expenses of the joint children and in proportion to his/her ability.
CAUTIONARY ALIMONY
It is alimony paid by the other party to the party in need for shelter and subsistence while the divorce case is pending. While awarding this alimony, issues such as who filed the lawsuit and which party is at fault are not taken into consideration. It starts on the date the divorce case is filed and ends on the date the divorce is finalized.
SUPPORT ALIMONY
Alimony is the alimony requested from other family members by a person who would fall into poverty if not helped. It can be requested in the order of inheritance, i.e. first from the descendants, then from the ascendants and finally from the siblings. The condition for requesting alimony from siblings is that they live in prosperity.
