"Beat & Release": Alimony Pain Prompts Actor to Sue Ex-Wife "Living Life of Luxury"

 (Hürriyet Newspaper, 20 April 2023 - online version unavailable)

                   In happier days, B.A. (before alimony) 

Actor Fikret Kuşkan has filed a suit against Bahar Kerimoğlu, whom

Kuşkan divorced 14 years ago, to have his 47,000 TL ($7,500) monthly 

alimony payment to her reduced, asserting that Bahar hanım is living a

life of luxury with his money. (!) 

The couple's 15-year-old child is in Bahar hanım's custody.  Kuşkan's

lawyer Bahar Varol stated that "my client has two children from a

second marriage so he's having great difficulty supporting them as well

as the third child."  Lawyer Varol noted during the first hearing of the 

case that "the defendant mother lives a life of luxury.  The meal and 

course expenditures she declares are not realistic and does a 15-year-

old child need to take a vacation every month?!"  The court extended 

the case to await hearing from Kuşkan's witnesses.
