<![CDATA[This community service program was conducted to improve public understanding of legal protection for child custody following divorce. Divorce not only terminates the legal relationship between husband and wife but may also give rise to issues concerning care, maintenance, education, health, protection, and the child’s relationship with both parents. The activity was held at the Palembang Religious Court on 1 July 2026 and targeted women, married couples, and students of Raden Fatah State Islamic University Palembang, with assistance from the Tamansiswa Campus Legal Aid Institute in Palembang. The program employed an educational-participatory approach through legal counseling, interactive discussion, consultation, initial legal assistance, and evaluation of participants’ understanding. The materials covered child custody or hadhanah, parental obligations after divorce, child maintenance, education, health, affection, visitation rights, and the best interests of the child. The activity showed that participants developed a better understanding that custody is not merely a right to control the child, but a responsibility to care for, educate, protect, and ensure the child’s proper development. It also strengthened awareness that divorce does not eliminate the obligations of either parent and that children must not be used as objects of conflict between former spouses.]]>
