Tengku Dewi Putri and Andrew Andika Officially Divorced, Hold New Status as Widow and Widower

Kapanlagi.com - The Cibinong Religious Court, West Java, has granted the divorce petition filed by Tengku Dewi Putri against her husband Andrew Andika. Now, the couple officially holds the status of widow and widower. This decision was conveyed by Tengku Dewi's attorney, Nickolas Dominique, after the hearing took place.

"Today's agenda is the conclusion and then the decision. It has been granted, yes, they have separated, and regarding child custody and monthly expenses for the child," said Nickolas Dominique at the Cibinong Religious Court on Wednesday (18/12/2024).

In the hearing, Tengku Dewi was not present because she was out of town. This condition had previously been communicated by her legal team to the court.

"Coincidentally, she (Tengku Dewi) is out of town. So she cannot attend today," explained Nickolas.

1. Andrew Andika Never Attended

Meanwhile, Andrew Andika, as the defendant, has stated from the beginning that he will not attend until this case is decided. Andrew has also expressed his readiness to follow the applicable legal procedures.

"He has indeed stated that he will not attend anymore. Just start the trial, so we are following the rules where he said he would not be present until the decision," said Nickolas.

Nickolas explained that Andrew's attitude of not complicating the legal process actually speeds up this divorce process. In addition, Andrew has agreed to the lawsuit filed by Dewi.

"Yes, it speeds things up. It makes things easier. Because he has agreed on how the process will go, we just need to carry it out," Nickolas added.

2. Andrew Can Still Appeal

However, even though the decision has been made, Andrew still has 14 days to file an appeal if he feels dissatisfied with the decision. "According to the schedule, he is still given 14 days to appeal. If there is no appeal within 14 days, then the decision is declared final," Nickolas stated.

With this decision, child custody has been awarded to Tengku Dewi, while the monthly expenses for the child will be the responsibility of Andrew Andika. This legal process is hoped to be a good ending for both parties.
