JAKARTA - The dispute between Ruben Onsu and Sarwendah is getting more and more serious, especially regarding the obligation to pay alimony. Minola Sebayang as Ruben's lawyer confirmed that his client would continue to postpone the payment of alimony as long as Sarwendah did not provide access to meetings with the children.
"There is no update, no change. As I said, before these children were given time to gather with Ruben 2-3 days, Ruben will also continue to delay what is his obligation," said Minola Sebayang via Zoom, Sunday, June 14.
This step was taken by Ruben not without legal reasons. Minola said Sarwendah had first violated the agreement in Act 39 regarding the time for children to live with their father.
"There is an agreement in Act 39. There is an obligation from S to hand over the children to meet with Ruben in 2-3 days a week. This has not been realized. Ruben cannot be said to be a failure if the person (Sarwendah) has first been a failure," he explained clearly.
Minola added that this problem is actually very simple if there is good faith from the Sarwendah party. If the meeting access is opened, then the financial affairs will immediately run back to normal.
"It means that as simple as when Ruben meets the child, then automatically his alimony will be paid again. That's how simple it is. That's why we are surprised, why is this simple problem so complicated?" said Minola in amazement.
Ruben's party also highlighted the invitation for a meeting sent by Sarwendah's party which was considered not serious. The invitation was considered just a trick to buy time without specifying a definite schedule.
"They gave an invitation to join the meeting, which did not determine the time and date. This is where we can suspect a trick just to delay the time so as not to meet with his son," he explained.
Regarding the details of the costs requested by Sarwendah's party, Ruben also began to be critical. He wants to renegotiate which expenses actually fall into the category of children's needs.
"We just have to talk about the real thing. What is the real need of the children? Don't make garbage money a duty for Ruben. Don't make dogie (dog) money a duty for Ruben. Well, we can negotiate," continued Minola.
Ruben who plans to leave Umroh in the near future hopes that this matter can soon find a light. However, he did not rule out the possibility that all new processes could be completed after his return.
"Ruben wants to go to Umroh on the 22nd. So it has not been determined when he can meet him. Even if there is a meeting, it may be around July, after Ruben returns," he said again.
Finally, Minola emphasized that Ruben only demanded what was his right according to the law and the agreement.
"If, for example, these children can meet their father, be picked up because they want to be given together with Ruben, well this may be a new change," concluded Minola.
