Penggantungan Perintah (Stay of Order): what it means and when it applies

A stay of order means the enforcement of a court order is paused temporarily, usually while one side appeals against the decision.

For example, if a husband appeals a maintenance or custody order, he can apply for a stay so the order is not enforced while the appeal is heard.

The court does not automatically grant a stay; the applicant must show a reasonable reason, and the other side can object if it harms the child’s welfare or an urgent need.

If an order you rely on is stayed, it does not mean you lost the case, only that enforcement is paused while the appeal proceeds. Read enforcement of order to understand the difference.
