The high-profile divorce proceedings involving renowned singer Raisa Andriana and actor Hamish Daud resumed on Monday (December 1) at the South Jakarta Religious Court. This session primarily focused on the critical agenda of evidence submission, marking a significant step in their ongoing legal battle.
During this pivotal hearing, Raisa’s legal counsel, Putra Lubis, publicly disclosed a key development: his client is seeking sole custody of their only child, Zalina. This revelation adds another layer to the complex separation of the celebrity couple, emphasizing Raisa’s primary concern for their daughter’s future.
Elaborating further, Lubis clarified that while the request for child custody is an integral part of Raisa’s overall petition, it is distinct from other potential claims, such as the division of communal assets. “Indeed, [child custody] is part of the petition, but it is not included in the broader lawsuit (regarding communal property and other matters). The plaintiff has formally requested that child custody be granted to the plaintiff [Raisa],” Putra firmly stated via a video call on Monday (December 1).
Raisa’s presence at the hearing today was crucial, as she attended with the specific aim of directly confirming the veracity of the contents within her lawsuit. Her direct involvement underscores the seriousness with which she is approaching the legal proceedings.
According to Putra Lubis, the questions posed during the session were not centered on the details of their separation itself, but rather on confirming whether the lawsuit had been duly filed. He affirmed, “If the question is whether they are separating, then yes, according to the lawsuit, our client wishes to separate.”
Significantly, the hearing proceeded without the attendance of Hamish Daud, who is listed as the defendant. Despite his absence, the proceedings continued with the examination of Raisa as the principal party and witnesses presented by her legal team.
Putra further detailed the witness testimonies, stating, “Today, neither the defendant nor his representatives were present. The witnesses for the plaintiff included Raisa’s brother, named Aldi, and also someone who works with the plaintiff’s family [a household assistant], named Linda.” Their testimonies are expected to lend support to Raisa’s claims.
Following today’s agenda of evidence submission and witness examination, the court has scheduled the next hearing to take place in two weeks.
“The subsequent agenda will involve the submission of additional evidence, set for December 15,” Putra Lubis concluded, indicating that the legal process is moving steadily towards its resolution.
