This policy paper explains that the surge in divorce rates in Indonesia has triggered a crisis of dysfunctional parenting due to the failure of postmarital partnerships (co-parenting), which has led to weakened daily supervision and become a major predictor of escalating deviant behavior and juvenile delinquency. This policy study aims to formulate a structural intervention strategy to mitigate the risk of deviant behavior in children of divorce through strengthening local institutions. The methodology used is a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach based on sociological and regulatory document studies, combined with William N. Dunn's six-criteria weighted scoring method. This study concludes that restoring the emotional stability of former partners through a therapeutic jurisprudence approach at the local level can linearly reconstruct the function of social control and emotional attachment of children in the home that was fragmented. As an operational recommendation, it is recommended that the Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia issue a Ministerial Regulation (PMA) concerning the Provision of Post-Divorce Psychoeducation Services at the KUA. This regulation must integrate the SIMKAH application infrastructure to oversee the preparation of a legally binding Co-Parenting Plan for former partners, so that the right to daily contextual supervision of adolescents can be fulfilled in a balanced manner to uphold the principle of the best interests of the child and maintain long-term national social cohesion.
