JAKARTA - The inaugural trial of the divorce application submitted by Andre Taulany had to be postponed for mediation.

The reason is, his wife, Rien Wartia Trigina (RT), was not present in person and was only represented by his attorney. This caused disappointment from Andre Taulany who hoped the process could run quickly.

Andre's attorney, Galih Rakasiwi, confirmed the absence. "Alhamdulillah, the respondent is present but his attorney is present like that. For the principal itself, he is not present," said Galih Rakasiwi at the South Jakarta Religious Court, Wednesday, October 8.

Galih explained the reason Erin Taulany was absent from the divorce trial was because she had just returned from abroad and had unfavorable health conditions.

"The information has just returned from abroad, for his health, he said it is not stable," continued Galih Rakasiwi.

As a result, the mediation process which requires the presence of the two principals must be rescheduled. "Mediation wants to be continued, only not today. God willing, the mediation will be on Tuesday," added Galih.

Andre's party admitted that he was disappointed with this delay. Galih said that his client wanted this divorce problem to be resolved immediately.

"Today is clearly disappointed. Disappointed, the point is asking to be present so that it will be finished quickly, you know," he said.

The next mediation is scheduled for Tuesday, October 14, where both parties are required to attend in person.
