We divorced two years ago. Can I still claim harta sepencarian?

A claim can be made together with the divorce application or as a separate claim after the divorce. Many former wives claim later, once things are calmer. However, whether there is a time limit and how delay is treated depend on the state's procedural law and the facts, so please check the current rules with your state Syariah court or a Syariah lawyer as soon as possible. The longer it is put off, the harder it is to gather evidence: documents go missing, property is sold or witnesses are hard to find. Start now with a list of assets acquired during the marriage, title searches and records of your contribution. See Harta sepencarian and the Syariah Court directory.
