TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The divorce lawsuit trial of former Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok against his wife, Veronica Tan, was held today, at 09:00 pm at the North Jakarta District Court, Jakarta.
North Jakarta District Court spokesman, Jootje Sampaleng, said that the trial is scheduled to check the attendance of the plaintiff and the defendant.
Last week, the panel of judges postponed it until February 7, because Veronica did not attend.
Jootje said that if Veronica does not attend again, the trial will be postponed until next week.
Ahok filed a divorce lawsuit against Veronica Tan through his legal counsel to the North Jakarta District Court on January 5. In the lawsuit, Ahok also requested for the child custody.
