Document background
The Divorce Agreement Document is a crucial legal instrument in Indonesian divorce proceedings, used to formalize the dissolution of marriage and establish post-divorce arrangements. This document is essential when married couples in Indonesia decide to formally end their marriage through either religious courts (for Muslim couples) or civil courts (for non-Muslim couples). The agreement must comply with Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, and for Muslim couples, the Islamic Law Compilation. It typically includes comprehensive provisions for property division, financial settlements, child custody arrangements, and ongoing obligations between parties. The document serves as both a legal record of the divorce terms and a binding agreement that can be enforced by courts. Its preparation often requires input from legal professionals to ensure compliance with both civil and religious requirements, particularly given Indonesia's dual legal system.
