JAKARTA - Ressa Rizky's lawyer, a man who claimed to be Denada's son, Andika Meigista, confirmed that his client not only demanded alimony, but also recognition of his status as a child of Denada.
"Yes, the actual demand for the first one is Ressa's confession as a child," said Ressa's lawyer, Andika Meigista, via video call, not long ago.
According to him, this confession is very crucial because it concerns Ressa's human rights.
The reason is that with the recognition of status, there will be obligations from a mother, such as providing sustenance, education costs, and medical costs.
"The child has a relationship with his mother," he explained.
In addition to the confession, this lawsuit also includes claims for material and immaterial damages. This compensation is intended for Ressa's uncle and aunt who have taken care of him for 24 years.
"Material and immaterial losses that have also been borne by the uncle and aunt... who have never received a penny," said Andika.
For decades, Ressa was said to have never received financial support or even asked about her by Denada.
This struggle became an emotional search for identity for Ressa. She just wanted to get certainty about who her biological mother was.
Although it is heavy, this legal step is the only way he can take. All he does is to get clarity on his status and rights as a child.
