Abstract

This dissertation is motivated by the obligation to provide for biological children after divorce, because the father is responsible for the child's support before the age of 21, this is regulated in Article 156 point D) of the KHI which states: The husband is obliged, even though there is a divorce, until the child reaches adulthood, namely at least until the age of 21, or at least until the child achieves sufficient support to support himself. According to Article 156, point D) of the KHI, the father is obliged to provide support to his child, even though there is a divorce, until the child reaches adulthood. This research is a field research located in Camplin Village. The subjects of this study were 7 community members, 4 divorced parents, 1 child's in-law, and 1 villager. This study also includes a literature review. In addition, data processing includes data analysis with inductive, deductive, and descriptive methods. Based on the author's research results, it can be concluded that fathers often do not pay sufficient attention to their children after divorce. There are several reasons why fathers do not carry out their obligations in paying attention to their children after divorce, namely: (1) knowledge and awareness of Islamic religious law, (2) economic conditions, and (3) what the father will do in the future when he has a new family. Meanwhile, according to Article 156 letter (D) of Islamic Law, these reasons do not eliminate the father's obligation to pay attention to children after divorce.
