Understanding divorce lawyer fees in Indonesia helps you prepare for every legal step with clarity. Because every case has its own challenges, the total fee can differ. To make the process easier to follow, this guide explains the most important costs and legal stages.
Initial Consultation Fee
The first consultation gives you a clear understanding of your situation. During this meeting, the lawyer listens to your story, reviews the facts, and explains all available options. Consultation fees usually range from IDR 500,000 to IDR 1,500,000.
In some situations, lawyers charge more when the case includes violence, child custody issues, or financial disputes.
Case Handling Fee
After the consultation, the lawyer begins managing your case. They prepare documents, file your petition, speak on your behalf, and attend hearings when needed. Most cases cost IDR 20,000,000 to IDR 50,000,000.
Every court and dispute type requires a different amount of work, so the final fee depends on how complex the case is.
Additional Services
Some cases require extra work. For example, child custody matters or the division of marital property often need more documents, meetings, and hearings. Because of this added effort, lawyers usually charge an additional fee.
Legal Keluarga Fee Range
Legal Keluarga offers clear and transparent pricing. For divorce cases in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek), the fee commonly ranges from IDR 35,000,000 to IDR 50,000,000. The final amount depends on the number of hearings, the complexity of the dispute, and the legal work required.
Common Reasons for Divorce in Indonesia
Many couples decide to end their marriage for various reasons. The most common include:
- Persistent conflicts
- Long-term financial difficulties
- Domestic violence
- Infidelity
- Childlessness
Courts often accept these reasons as valid legal grounds for divorce.
The Legal Process of Divorce in Indonesian Courts
To help you understand the legal journey more clearly, below are the main steps in a divorce case.
1. Filing a Divorce Petition
Muslim couples file their petition at the Religious Court, while non-Muslim couples file at the District Court. After registration, the court sets the date for the first hearing.
2. Mediation
Before the trial begins, both parties must attend mediation. The court guides the couple to explore possible reconciliation. If both sides agree, the case ends. If they do not reach an agreement, the process moves forward to trial.
3. Divorce Hearings
During hearings, both parties present evidence, share their arguments, and bring witnesses who support their statements. Some disputes require multiple sessions, especially when disagreements involve shared property or child custody.
4. Court Verdict
Once all hearings conclude, the judge delivers the final decision. If the court grants the divorce, you receive a divorce certificate, known as an akta cerai.
5. Case Duration
Most divorce cases finish within three to four months. However, cases involving complicated financial issues or childcare arrangements may take longer.
