The Story of Tengku Dewi Mentioning Andrew Andika Providing Child Support for the Last Child During Labor

Kapanlagi.com - The Cibinong Religious Court in West Java, on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, ordered Andrew Andika to provide child support of Rp20 million per month for his two children with Tengku Dewi.

Dewi herself admitted that she is not too focused on the ruling, especially since her ex-husband has not fulfilled his obligations for several months now.

"Not yet. Hehehe," Tengku Dewi replied briefly when asked about the child support that Andrew should provide, during a video call with her lawyer, Minola Sebayang, from her office in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta, Thursday (19/12/2024).

Dewi then explained that the last time Andrew provided support was when she was pregnant and about to give birth. According to her, Andrew was undergoing rehabilitation at that time due to a drug case, making it difficult for him to find stable employment.

1. Committed to Fulfill Obligations

"The last condition was because he entered rehabilitation and is still struggling to get a job again. The last time, if I'm not mistaken, there was still a transfer when I was pregnant and about to give birth. Well, that too, thank God, is appreciated, but there was some support," said Dewi.

Nevertheless, Dewi admitted that Andrew had expressed his commitment to fulfill his obligations. She also chose to remain optimistic and wait for the realization of that promise.

"Just the last conversation, he said he would try to meet it. Let's just wait and see," she added.

Meanwhile, Minola Sebayang, Tengku Dewi's attorney, explained in detail about the court ruling regarding the alimony obligations that Andrew must fulfill. The amount of alimony is set at Rp 20 million per month, which covers maintenance, education, and healthcare costs for the children until they reach adulthood.

2. Increase in Education Costs

"Ordering the defendant to provide support for two children for maintenance costs, education costs, and health, until the children reach adulthood. The estimated cost per month for the plaintiff's and defendant's children is Rp 20 million," explained Minola.

In addition, in the mediation that was conducted earlier, both parties have also agreed on an increase in education costs of 15 percent each year. This is considered a precautionary step against the continuously rising educational needs in the future.

"And additionally from the results of the mediation, it has been agreed by both parties that every year, yes, every year there will be an agreed increase in education costs of 15 percent. So Rp 20 million, but every year it will increase by 15 percent," continued Minola.

3. Blessings are Always There

Even so, Dewi realizes that Andrew's current condition may make him unable to fulfill that obligation. She also emphasizes her readiness to continue fighting alone for her children if necessary.

"Let's just see later if he wants to give, then alhamdulillah, but if he doesn't have the ability yet, I will just fight alone," said Dewi.

Nevertheless, Dewi remains confident that blessings for her children will always be there. She hopes this court decision can be a good start for all parties to lead a better life in the future.

"Because blessings for children will always be there," concluded Dewi optimistically. Stay tuned for the latest updates about Tengku Dewi and other artists only on KapanLagi. If not now, when else?
