The divorce issue is a privacy problem that is often not revealed in court compared to criminal cases. Thus, in this case, it highly needs an institution or organization that is more focused on divorce issues that receive services and help the community to solve their cases. The role of the Legal Aid Institution in providing legal assistance for divorce cases to the public is (1) Consultation; (2) Mentoring; (3) Counseling. There are two role pathways undertaken by the Legal Aid Institution among others are; (1) litigation; and (2) non-litigation. The existence of lawyers as law enforcement agencies in the Legal Aid Institution, the government, and the community are the three elements to decide the creation of a legal system according to the ideals of the 1945 Constitution and Pancasila. The existence of Legal Aid Institutions is to help people who are unable and obtain fast responses in solving their legal problems. There are many Legal Aid Institutions in Indonesia. In fact, each court provided a Legal Aid Post (POSBAKUM) which is an effort to help litigants. Therefore, based on these problems, this study will look further into the role of the Legal Aid Institution in providing legal assistance in the resolution of divorce cases.
