In short
Interim maintenance is a temporary measure taken to keep livelihood standing while a divorce or separation action continues. The basis is the provision that regulates temporary measures during the action. This article does not rebuild the list of types of maintenance, or the reduction after the judgment. When the action ends, this item does not pass by itself into the place of a poverty or contribution judgment. An amount and a rate are not in this text.
Temporary livelihood while the action continues
The proceedings may lengthen. The shared home may have broken up, the income may have stayed on one side, or the child may have begun to live in fact with one parent. The statute provides a temporary measure for housing, livelihood, and protection of the children in this interval. Interim maintenance is one of these measures. The measure does not wait for the ground of divorce to have been proved. Need and the ability to pay do not pull forward the result of the fault action.
In the petition, the temporary request and the final request are separate lines. If the temporary line is not written, the interval may be forgotten. If the final line is not written, how livelihood will continue when the action ends may stay blank in the judgment. If the two lines are melted in the same sentence, the enforcement officer cannot read which item to collect. The document carries income, rent, school, and health expense. A sentence of "I cannot get by" without a document does not produce an amount. A sentence of "I have no money" without a document does not drop the request by itself either.
The other side not accepting the divorce does not by itself close the livelihood measure during the proceedings. The contested skeleton is in the article on contested divorce. How the action is filed is under the divorce action. Acceptance does not determine the amount. The amount is spoken from the income and expense documents in the file.
The spouse's item and the child's expense
In the same hearing, livelihood for the spouse and a contribution to care for the child may be spoken together. In law they are still two needs. The first may evolve into poverty maintenance when the proceedings end. The second may evolve into contribution maintenance. If a single figure was written in the interim decision, not separating the items in the judgment spoils the later enforcement. Which document was presented for which need appears in the petition.
An income document, a lease, school and health expense, and the actual care arrangement are the raw material of the measure. The court may write to the relevant institutions. The writing does not lift the burden of presenting documents. Violence or the safety of the home is a separate regime. A measure within Law No. 6284 does not stand in for maintenance. Maintenance does not give birth to a removal order either. The two decisions may stand in the same file. One does not erase the other's subject.
What happens to the item when the action ends
When the divorce judgment becomes final, the function of interim maintenance ends. In its place, if they were built in the judgment, poverty and contribution maintenance pass. If these items are not in the judgment, the measure stopping may mean livelihood stops too. For this reason the temporary request and the final request are written separately in the petition. The frame of the poverty condition is in the article on poverty maintenance. The list of types stands under types of maintenance.
If income changes during the proceedings, the measure may be increased, reduced, or lifted. This is not the action for reduction and lifting after the judgment. It is the updating of the interim decision in the same file. The update wants a new document. The old interim decision is not treated as having changed by itself while there is no new income document. Unpaid interim maintenance may go to enforcement. The basis is the interim decision, not a judgment of final maintenance. The decision number and the divorce merits number are not mixed.
Putting the interim decision into enforcement does not wait for the divorce judgment to become final. The copy of the decision writes which item is temporary. If it does not write it, the amount collected may be taken for final maintenance. The file number is separate from the enforcement merits. If the two numbers mix, the payment goes to the wrong file. The document presented for a change of income is read side by side with the old interim decision. A request for an increase or a reduction is not built before it is read.
What is looked at in the interim file
The question of what interim maintenance is is built as whether an action was filed and whether there is a livelihood document. An amount is not written into this text. The office being in Çankaya does not change the competent family court. A rate and a percentage are not produced. The interim measure is not put in place of a judgment of final maintenance.
Conclusion
Interim maintenance is temporary livelihood tied to the calendar of the action. It is not a rehearsal of the poverty and contribution judgment. It is the tool of the interval. The income and expense documents and an open request item keep it standing. When the action ends, the conversion is not by itself. The final item is built separately in the judgment. The frame is on the family law page. The official basis is the temporary-measure provision of the Turkish Civil Code No. 4721.
