WHAT IS PRECAUTIONARY ALIMONY?
Precautionary alimony is a temporary measure, which can be requested during or before the divorce case, especially for the spouses to meet the expenses of housing, subsistence and care and expenses of their children. Unlike poverty alimony, alimony can be granted both to the spouse and in favor of the children. Unlike poverty alimony, the judge may decide on alimony when deemed necessary, even if the person does not request it. Injunctive alimony can also be requested through an independent lawsuit (separation lawsuit) without filing a divorce case.

In this case, the person must prove that his/her separation from his/her spouse is based on justified reasons. In both divorce and separation cases, the alimony starts to run from the date of the lawsuit. Injunctive alimony is intended to provide temporary protection. It automatically ends with the finalization of the divorce decision or the end of the separation period (separation can be decided for a maximum of 3 years). Finally, while deciding on the injunction alimony, unlike the poverty alimony, the fault ratios of the parties are not taken into consideration.
