| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to analyse and examine the legal force of the
implementation of the fulfilment of child needs after divorce by the former husband
and the efforts made by single mothers in fulfilling children's rights. The research
methodology used is field research, which uses qualitative methods. Through
purposive technique (non-probability sampling), researchers conducted in-depth
interviews with respondents based on the criteria of living divorce widows who still
had minor children when the divorce verdict was handed down. In addition, the
perspective of expert practitioners, namely judges, is also needed to see this case.
Based on Article 41 of the Marriage Law and Article 156 of the Compilation of
Islamic Law, the responsibility for child needs rests with the father until the child
is 21 years old or has married or lived independently. But in reality, many ex-
husbands are negligent in fulfilling this child support, making single mothers have
to survive on their own. From the point of view of single mothers, the factors that
cause the non-fulfilment of child needs by the ex-husband include the absence of
responsibility for the child, the inability to provide child needs, the unknown
whereabouts of the ex-husband, and the influence of other parties. Indeed, single
mothers can file a lawsuit in the form of execution for this case. However, several factors influence this, including the poor relationship between the ex-husband and
wife and protecting children's mental health, as well as several existing legal issues. | en_US |
