Frequently Asked Questions

Can a foreigner file for divorce in Indonesia?

Yes, if the marriage was registered in Indonesia or one spouse is an Indonesian citizen. Our lawyers assist foreign nationals with the entire process, including court representation and document translation.

How long does a divorce take in Bali?

An uncontested divorce typically takes 3 to 4 months. Contested divorces may take 6 to 12 months or longer depending on property division and custody disputes.

What documents do I need?

Marriage certificate, identity documents (KTP/passport), family card (Kartu Keluarga), and a written statement of reasons. Foreign nationals may need translated and legalized certificates.

Do I need to appear in court?

Generally the petitioner must attend hearings, but in some cases our lawyers can represent you through a power of attorney, especially for foreign nationals who cannot easily travel to Bali.

What happens to property after divorce?

Without a prenuptial agreement, Indonesian law considers assets acquired during marriage as joint property (harta bersama), divided equally. A prenuptial agreement can significantly impact division.

Can I get custody as a foreigner?

Courts determine custody based on the best interest of the child. There is no automatic bias against foreign parents. Our team has successfully helped foreign clients secure custody and visitation rights.
