Abstract

This study examines the mechanisms for child support payments post-divorce in Indonesia and Malaysia, with a technological approach proposed as a solution to enhance the effectiveness of fulfilling children's rights. The background of this research is the high divorce rates in both countries, which have implications for violations of children's rights to support. The objective of the study is to analyze the mechanisms for child support payments post-divorce in Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as to propose technology-based solutions to address challenges in the enforcement of court rulings related to child support. The research method employed is normative legal research, which involves examining various regulations and legal practices in both countries. The findings indicate that in Indonesia, although there are regulations governing child support obligations, their implementation still faces obstacles such as difficulties in executing court decisions. Meanwhile, in Malaysia, the Family Support Division (Bahagian Sokongan Keluarga, BSK) has played an active role in ensuring the fulfillment of child support through various monitoring and law enforcement mechanisms. This study recommends the use of technology, such as electronic payment systems and automatic salary deductions, to improve compliance with child support payments. Additional recommendations include the need for specific regulations governing child support payment mechanisms with a technological approach, as well as increasing legal awareness among the public regarding the responsibility of child support post-divorce.
