Difference:
According to article 182/II of the Turkish Civil Code; the
spouse, that is not given the privilege of custody, has to
participate the nurturing and education expenses of the child, as
much as he/she can. While the divorce proceeding continues between
the spouses, the alimony which given to the party who has the
custody for the child's needs is the temporary alimony. With
the finalization of the divorce, the alimony will turn into
"child allowance".
