Maell Lee and Anggita Oktaviani divorce mediation fails

“Agendanya saya mentalak istri saya. Sudah, terima kasih,” said Maell Lee at the South Jakarta Religious Court on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, where the content creator’s divorce proceedings from Anggita Oktaviani took a definitive turn.

Mediation Fails After Alot Proceedings

The private mediation session lasted between 45 minutes and an hour without legal counsel present in the room, according to Christopher L.P. Simanjuntak, the attorney representing Maell Lee, as reported by celebrity.okezone.com and iNews.id. Christopher noted that while the mediator attempted to bridge the gap between the principal parties, the discussion proved exceptionally challenging.

“So I also hoped for a good result at that time, but apparently the mediator’s result was not maximal either. The mediation has been declared a failure,” Christopher said, as cited by iNews.id. He added that the decision to end the marriage appears final for both sides following the protracted discussions.

Regarding the reasons behind the split, Christopher noted that the decision is rooted in fundamental issues, though he declined to disclose specifics at this early stage. Nah itu tadi yang saya bilang, prinsipil sekali alasannya. Jadi kita tidak bisa sampaikan sementara di sini, tidak mau mendahului karena ini masih awal. Jadi kita tunggu sampai nanti putusan saja, pastikan semua akan terkuak ya, Christopher said on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Maell Lee similarly redirected questions about the separation’s cause to his legal representative, stating, Tanya sama beliau, beliau yang tahu, and Enggak, itu beliau yang lebih tahu. Earlier at the courthouse, when initially asked by reporters about his agenda, Maell briefly joked that he came to promote a film before giving his formal statement.

Despite the breakdown in talks regarding the marriage itself, Christopher confirmed that Maell Lee and Anggita Oktaviani have reached an understanding regarding joint child rearing. Regarding the division of marital assets, the attorney stated that no discussions on the topic took place during the mediation session, leaving those details for future agreement between the two parties.

South Jakarta Religious Court Schedules Next Hearing

With the mediation officially declared unsuccessful, the case moves forward in the judicial process. The South Jakarta Religious Court scheduled the next hearing for two weeks out to formally submit the mediation results to the panel of judges, as reported by iNews.id.

Reflecting on the shift in handling the proceedings, Maell Lee stated outside the courthouse that he has entrusted the legal process entirely to his attorney moving forward, explaining, Enggak, saya sudah nyerahin ke kuasa hukum saya tadi. Semuanya diserahin ke beliau.
