The appellant sought to challenge Decision: 0011/Pdt.G/2014/PA.Bjw of the Bajawa Religious Court (lower court), which had acceded to the respondent's request to revocably divorce the appellant. The lower court had also ordered the respondent to pay to the appellant IDR 300,000 per month for the period of iddah (three-month period after which divorce has been granted), and granted custody of the parties' first child to the respondent. The lower court had also granted the appellant custody of the parties' third and fourth children, as well as ordering the respondent to pay IDR 200,000 per month in child support for the third child until the child had reached adulthood.
The court affirmed the decision of the lower court, but amended the decision in order that the respondent pay to the appellant at least IDR 500,000 per month for the maintenance of the parties third, fourth and fifth children.
