A prenuptial agreement is a legal instrument that functions to separate the assets between husband and wife, both assets that existed before and those acquired during the marriage. However, in practice, the implementation of prenuptial agreements often raises issues in cases of divorce, especially when one party maintains control over assets that are legally owned by the other party. This study aims to examine the legal considerations of the judge in Decision Number 490/Pdt.G/2024/PN Cbi between Trisiana Waty versus Lim Cipto Halim, which relates to claims of ownership over assets after divorce as regulated in the prenuptial agreement. This study uses a normative legal research method with statute, conceptual, and case approaches. Data were obtained through analysis of court decision documents, legislation, and legal doctrines from experts. The research results indicate that the judge considering the existence of a prenuptial agreement as evidence of lawful separation of assets in accordance with Article 29 of Law No. 1 of 1974, but rejecting the lawsuit because there is still a case concerning the division of joint property in the Serang District Court that has not yet obtained permanent legal force. Thus, the prenuptial agreement is recognized as a binding legal norm, but its application remains subject to the principles of legal certainty and non-contradiction of decisions within the Indonesian civil court system.
