Ahok’s attorney, Josefina Agatha Syukur hopes that the contents of the divorce suit would be thoroughly granted by the judge, which also includes Ahok’s child custody.
“[The child custody] is for Tania and Daud. His first son is a grown-up now, no need for child custody,” said Jootjie two weeks ago.
During the previous trial, Josefina handed over 17 pages of material which is a summary of the whole trial proceedings.
Ahok’s and Veronica’s divorce trial entered its conclusion phase after the witness cannot attend the trial. However, Josefina said that the witness was no longer needed, “After we discussed it with Pak Ahok, we agreed that it is no longer needed,” said Josefina.
Ahok filed for divorce at the North Jakarta District Court through his attorney Josefina Agatha Syukur and Fifi Lety Indra on January 5, 2018.
