JAKARTA - Fahmi Bachmid, Baim Wong's attorney, responded to Paula Verhoeven's move regarding the method of expert witnesses in child custody decisions. According to him, questioning the contents of the judge's consideration after the case was decided is an inappropriate legal step.

He firmly stated that the discussion on this matter had been closed. "That's it. Wabillahi taufiq wal hidayah. It's finished," he said in the South Jakarta area, Wednesday, November 26.

Fahmi explained that legal remedies should be taken if there is an objection. Objections to the first level decision were filed through an appeal, while objections to the appeal decision were filed through cassation.

Paula Verhoeven's side is known not to file an appeal after the Religious High Court's decision was issued. This legally means that they have confirmed all the judges' considerations, including statements from expert witnesses.

"If he does not object to the decision at the appeal level, then he confirmed it," explained Fahmi.

"It is very illogical if he questions something that has been justified," he added.

Regarding Paula's complaint to the Supreme Court's Supervisory Board, Fahmi was reluctant to comment much. He considers it to be in the realm of non-juridicism and administration that is not his authority.

In essence, Fahmi wants to straighten things out so that people don't get lost. The issue of the contents of the court's decision has its own legal path, and the opportunity for it has passed.
