Through this paper conducted after the research made in the legislation of Kosovo and some other European countries, I will elaborate on how alimony in Kosovo legislation is defined? Why it is vital for people to enjoy custody after divorce? Then I will discuss the custody methods, child care, as well as the court proceedings in providing alimony. This paper aims to address the positive and negative aspects of alimony in Kosovo. The academic interest of this paper is on defining alimony according to Kosovo legislation by elaborating in details the way this legislation regulates the provision of alimony. Several methods, national and foreign legal analysis, research into various scientific articles have been used, and a scientific interpretation of the legal provisions regulating the issue of alimony has been made.
