During the roundtable meetings organised under the EU/CoE Joint Project on "Improving the Effectiveness of Family Courts: Better Protection of the Rights of Family Members”, the national authorities were engaged in active discussion with a focus on improving the framework of alimony and compensation determination by Family Courts.
Important issues such as the determination of alimony in line with the standards set by the judiciary, in accordance with predetermined parameters, and the requirements for establishing uniform practice in similar cases were among key topics addressed in Mardin. The meeting also discussed alimony collection practices through enforcement, the difficulties faced by family members, and the international legal cooperation dimension of alimony cases.
As a follow-up, an Evaluation Report will be prepared, summarising the main points and offering measures for possible improvement of the alimony and compensation determination process.
