Hi,
I'm looking for help regarding 2 Indonesians about to start the process of (Islamic) divorce.
They have been living apart for 6 years, both working abroad in different countries for most of that time. They have an 8yo together who lives with her family.
He has been home in Indo for 2 years now but has never seen his child at her family's home and has never contacted her in the 6 years - or provided any support for either. She is recently home now (2 months) and looking to get divorced.
She talked to him last week about filing for divorce jointly, but he wanted to try again with their marriage which she is not interested in. She told him she would file alone, without a lawyer, but he said he wouldn't agree to anything, attend but fight it.
I'm assuming she has good grounds to get divorced, she has witnesses too, but with him not agreeing (and this being an islamic divorve?!) approx. How long will it take to finalize a divorce? There's no property or assets.
I've read it could be a couple months - while others have said it could take years due to the husband attending court but not agreeing to anything.
Thanks!
