Document background
The Post Divorce Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Indonesia following the finalization of a divorce to establish clear and enforceable terms between former spouses. This agreement becomes necessary when divorced parties need to formalize arrangements regarding child custody, property division, financial obligations, and other post-divorce matters. It must comply with Indonesian Marriage Law (Law No. 1 of 1974), the Civil Code, and for Muslim couples, the Compilation of Islamic Law. The document is particularly important in cases involving complex asset distribution, child custody arrangements, or ongoing financial obligations. It provides legal certainty and helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting all agreed terms and conditions. The agreement should be properly executed before a notary and, where required, registered with relevant authorities to ensure its enforceability within the Indonesian legal system.
