Edelweis entered the office of the lawyer Ryan recommended. She decided to go back to live with her mother and sisters. Plaintiffing Rajasa divorce.
A woman was down writing something with a lap top lit up next to her.
“Mother Winda?” Tegur Edelweiss's.
The woman raised her face and smiled,”Betul, ma'am. Have seat. Can I help you?”
“I want to take care of my divorce.”
“What is the reason mom divorced?”
“My husband is having an affair with his secretary.”
“Do mothers have proof?”
With trembling, Edelweis handed Rajasa's cell phone containing evidence of infidelity in it.
“What is the mother's claim in the divorce that I filed?”
“Harta gono gini and child custody.”
“Good. Try mom tell me the chronology.”
Winda listened and listened to the Edelweiss story.
“Good. I'll try to process mother's divorce. But I suggest before filing a divorce suit should take peace first.”
“I am reluctant to make peace with my husband.” Edelweis stubbornly.
“We find out first whether this divorce is inevitable or not. Many divorce cases actually end in neglect of children. Mom doesn't work, does she?”
Edelweis nodded his head.
“It will also be a problem in raising children.”
“Therefore I filed a lawsuit against the treasure gono gini.”
“Begini ma'am, custody of children under twelve years old is indeed under the care of the mother. But if there is an indication of child neglect or there are doubtful conditions. Then custody can be transferred to his father.”
“What should I do?”
“We will take the path of peace first. Negotiate. What does the mother demand of the mother's husband? Mediation is a step that must be taken before deciding to divorce. If it can still be reconciled then it will be taken.”
“You don't understand. My husband is having an affair.”.
“I fully understand. The biggest causes of divorce are infidelity, kdrt and economy.”
“If you ask me to accept my husband's affair, you dream!”
“Mediation taken first. Especially in marriage there are children. Divorce lawsuit filed by wife must get the consent of husband or court.”
“My husband doesn't want a divorce.”
“Means mom has to get approval from the court. As I said. Before divorce. Will be mediated first. If it fails the divorce process is continued and decided by the court.”
“Good.”
“I will contact husband or mother husband lawyer to discuss this.”
“Good. Thank you.”
“I will contact mom back. While we'll suffice our meeting up here.”
“Good, bu.”

Rajasa accepted Edelweis' divorce through his lawyer. They will undergo mediation before deciding whether the divorce process continues or not.
“I don't want to get divorced from my wife. I think of my daughter and the baby in my wife's womb. I think my wife's decision was very emotional. Possibly her hormones are being unstable because she is pregnant.”
“What's your reason for refusing your wife's divorce?” Ask the lawyer across the phone.
“By being pregnant. Influenced by hormones. My wife doesn't work. Even though I grant her gono treasure wish. If he doesn't work and can't manage money. What do you think will happen?”
“I feel his decision to divorce is influenced by other parties. I need you to check on Ryan. I also want Roy to testify.”
“Good.”
“I also want to raise the charge of cheating on Ryan with my wife. This will be a weapon to take over custody of children and reject the gono gini property lawsuit. Ryan is divorcing his wife after giving birth. You can cross-check his wife's testimony. I want him to testify. You can see the correlation, right? Divorced his wife after giving birth. Then marry my wife. Do you think they deserve child custody and gono gini.”
“What about your affair with Ryan's wife?”
“That has long since passed. I don't do it anymore. Precisely now my wife with Ryan.”
“Good. I'm going to draft an argument against your wife's divorce suit. What do you offer for mediation?”
“Canceling divorce lawsuit filed by my wife of course. If he forces then I'll have a problem with his relationship with Ryan. Ryan wants to divorce his wife and marry her. That will be the basis for the transfer of custody of children and the cancellation of rights gono gini marriage property. I also want you to take issue with my wife who is not working and is able to manage money.”
“You want me to discredit your wife?”
“Yeah. Issue his incompetence in parenting and managing money. I want you to make an argument for the court to understand that if this divorce is done and child custody is forced on her mother. There will be a child neglect. Nurturingly and financially. So that child custody and distribution of property gono gini become irrelevant.”
“Hmm, alright.”
“About my affair with my secretary. You can ask for testimony from those who work in my house even my own wife. Did she carry out her obligations as a wife in that time span?”
“What do you want to say?”
“My wife did not meet my needs. I'm not cheating for no reason. He's partly responsible for the affair I did.”
“You're like you're looking for justification.”
“That's a fact. I'm not looking for justification. I never cheated before my wife ignored my needs.”
“What do you want to say?”
“I want him to take responsibility for what he has done to our household. The affair has been over since she returned to her duties as a wife. You can cross-check with my secretary. Ryan's wife at the moment. I need you to make an argument. How irrelevant. File for divorce at the time the affair ends. An affair caused by my wife's own fault. And now he wants to get custody and property gono gini as well as the inauguration of his relationship with Ryan. After Ryan officially divorced his wife.”
His lawyer listened to Rajasa's explanation. Recorded points.
“You want mediation and reject the divorce lawsuit your wife filed with you?”
“Yeah!”
“I will cross-check all your statements to those who work at your house, your wife, Ryan, Roy, your mother-in-law and your two sisters-in-law.”
“Don't forget Ryan's wife. My secretary.”
“Yeah.”
“I will discuss with your wife's lawyer about mediation schedule.”
“You can ask my secretary about my schedule. You just set the schedule with my secretary.”
“Yeah! I will also ask for testimony from an expert witness regarding the psychiatric condition of your wife.”
“Yeah!”
“I think of her psychiatric condition, her neglect of her obligations as a wife during the affair and her relationship with Ryan. It could be an argument to reject her divorce lawsuit.”
“Yeah! You have to convince the court that the divorce suit is unfounded. It can even be at risk of causing child neglect. It could even cause my wife's emotional and psychiatric condition to become unstable."
“Yeah! The lack of incompetence. I need details. Tell me in detail. What happens when an affair occurs. When you decided to stop him. When your wife filed for divorce. Since when did your wife have a relationship with Ryan.”
“Ryan is always looking for loopholes and opportunities in my household. He was trying to find an opportunity in the shortcomings. If Roy's trying to get in the way of my wife's desire to get a divorce and Ryan's the other way around. You can cross-check the statement I made to Roy and Ryan.”
“Yeah!”
