Divorce not only terminates the marital relationship between a husband and wife but can also give rise to issues concerning the rights and well-being of children, particularly regarding the determination of child custody (hadhanah). This study aims to analyze the protection of children's rights in the determination of hadhanah following a divorce, based on the perspectives of Islamic law and the Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam or KHI). The study employs a normative legal research method, utilizing both statutory and contextual approaches. Legal materials were gathered through a literature review, encompassing the Quran, *hadith*, the Compilation of Islamic Law, legislation concerning child protection, and other relevant scholarly literature. The analysis was conducted qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that the protection of children's rights encompasses the right to care, affection, financial support (nafkah), education, healthcare, and a safe environment. The determination of hadhanah must take into account both legal provisions and the best interests of the child, while both parents remain responsible for meeting the child's needs and ensuring their well-being after the divorce.
