It is based on Article 1 of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage (Law No. 1 of 1974). This study uses the Juridical Empirical approach. This approach aims to understand that the law is not merely a set of statutory rules that are normative in nature, but the law is understood as the behavior of people who are symptomatic in their lives, always interact and relate to social aspects, such as; economic, social and cultural aspects. the marriage has been broken due to divorce, it does not result in the relationship between the parents (divorced husband and wife) and the children born from the marriage breaking up.
