Thread: Breakups - Is this true?

William old bean. Some advice please for a very worried old boy I know.

He's been with this bird for about a year. They were going to get hitched apparently, but he experienced her very bad temper (waving a chopper at him!) so he changed his mind.

Now things have gone sour and he thinks she is seeing someone else on the side.
"The end is in sight" he tell me. But he is worried that after moving out she will have some, quite legal, call as a common law wife,on his property and cash. Is that so ?

err no. But he should move address if possible to avoid future confrontations with this bunny bolier.

i was under the impression that this is true but most girls cannot afford lawyers etc to enforce it.

She's got a chopping knife in her hand and he's worried about loosing his house.... Doh!

there's no such thing as a "common law wife" under Thailand's civil law system.

Thailand does not have common law as there is no common sense. Everything is based on written laws.

Yes the very idea of a common law partner have a legal claim on you would be anathema to the law makers.

Imagine the furore when the mia nois started claiming on the estate of all those honest politicians and lawmakers!

If the mia noi has a child by her lover the child has the same inheritance rights as the children fathered by her lover in his legal marriage.

No wonder they're so desperate to make one.
I mean for you to make one.

Only if the father legally recognises the child. Otherwise this is not true.

^indeed. I've known both Thai and foreign men stand-up and say a child was theirs that could not possibly be. Likewise, I've know both Thais and foreigners stand-up and say the child was not theirs even when DNA evidenced proved otherwise.

Does the OP have a child?

Woman are still underlings in the legal system. It was only 2 or 3 years ago that the law was changed before which you could still legally rape your wife.
