Children have an important position in family life, society, nation and state, so children must get their rights both naturally and constitutionally. Protection of the fulfillment of children's rights should not stop when the parents' relationship is still harmonious but must also be carried out when the parents are divorced and even this protection must continue until the child grows up to become an adult human being. One of the children's rights that need to be protected is the child's right to joint property after the divorce of his parents. This research aims to compare the regulation and implementation of efforts to protect children's rights to joint property in Indonesia and Malaysia. The benefit of this research is that it can be used by judges and the government as a reference in conducting policies on the protection of children's rights to joint property after divorce. The research method used is a normative legal research method with a statutory approach and uses a descriptive analysis method. The results showed that in Indonesia there is no specific regulation on the protection of children's rights to joint property after divorce, while in Malaysia it has been regulated. The implementation of the protection of children's rights to joint property in Indonesia is carried out in court decisions while in Malaysia it has been carried out through the Badan Sokongan Keluarga (BSK).
