Thread: I want to divorce her; how?

Pattaya Lawyers

Sorted

Edit; But he got to go back to do it, can't do it from home

Thanks mate.

If he ran off and abandoned anything that was financed, or if the woman had accused him of anything, he might want to think twice about coming back. Thailand has strange laws like the ones against diminishing the value of anything that is financed, and the line between civil and criminal is not always as clear as it is at home. There may also have been unpaid judgments or mandatory court appearances that were not made. Just a suggestion, but he might want to have a good Thai lawyer make sure there are no old warrants or anything like that before he sets foot in the country again. Being arrested at the airport or having other legal problems here is something he does not need.

All he has to do is ask her for an agreed divorce. If she agrees they just both go to an Ampur with each others original marriage certificate and annul the marriage. No need for lawyer.
If she puts up a fight then a sweatener may be required.

He didn't run from anything financed, all was paid.

He don't want to see her face ever again, so going with her to the ampur is out of the question.

We'll see what the good lawyer says.

Thai law is actually very fair. The Thai police officers are a separate issue. For both groups you need a really good lawyer as ALL Thai law is written law, never verbal.

In the west a good litigator can argue a closing statement into a victory for his client. Not here, so we use only the best paralegals, researchers and attorneys to submit written legal briefs and cases to the courts at PAPPA Co., Ltd. Law Offices.

When it comes to divorce, the law applies equally to foreigners and Thais despite what some blogs may say. At PAPPA Co., Ltd. we have been able to complete more than 200 divorces between foreigners and Thais to the satisfaction of the foreigner.

Your friend or any other married person can sue for divorce on these conditions only:
1) Apart and separate as husband and wife estranged for a period of three years or more;
2) The complainant (the one filing the divorce case) can prove the spouse has had extramarital relations while married;
3) The other spouse has a communicable disease, i.e. TB, AIDS, HIV, etc.;
4) The other spouse is an addict which can be proven by a medical exam or drug conviction;
5) The other spouse has a gambling problem causing great economic harm to the family;
6) The other spouse is in jail for an extended period of time (subjective).
7) (our favorite) The other spouse said aloud in public something offensive to your family name. Examples are Mother Fu**er, Son of a Bi**h, Bast**d

Absent these 7 reasons a divorce can not be granted unless by mutual consent. She must agree if you can not prove one of the 7.

She sold his property? OK, we can stop her from selling it but if it is sold already we can only go after the money if it is reinvested in an identifiable asset OR she put it in the bank in her name.

Division of assets after divorce is simple: It is the same as in America and most Western countries, i.e. what was owned before marriage is separate and what is made after marriage is shared.

Child support is a must. Spousal support can be minimal, unlike the US and other countries.

To file the divorce you must appear at least twice to the court of jurisdiction. Either the District in Thailand where you married or the District you last lived as husband and wife. You appear the first date of filing and the last date of the divorce decree and the lawyers do all the stuff in the middle.

Your friend may never see her as most of the time the woman does not show up at the hearing and we get the divorce granted ASAP.

You're over thinking it BobR, she already fucked him, she'll be happy to get the divorce, that's if she not already Divorced him falsely claim abandonment as her grounds.

As hard as you currently feel it is to be in the same room as her I recommend you go to the Amphur and get it done with her present. It will help you cleanse yourself of this evil greedy woman.

Is it him or his "friend"?

and remember, there are always two sides to any argument

^As I said at the start of this thread, it's not about me but a friend.

Thanks a lot Drew for this info. Never mind about getting assets back, that's never mind. Divorce is all he wants.
My friend emailed you yesterday, basically the same as was posted here. He wants to meet up with you in Pattaya, what documents do you need to see?

It's very unlikely that she will leave her northern town to sort this out, and he refuses to go up country. According to him, she also wants to divorce so that she get her family name back. Is it enough if he get a paper from her stating that she wants a divorce, signed and with 2 witnesses?

"To file the divorce you must appear at least twice to the court of jurisdiction".

Is there no other way? He does not want to go upcountry and never want to see her.

Could you please email and advice on the easiest way of solving this?

He will try to call her today, see if he can get the agreement for divorce from her.

Again, thanks.

she wants a divorce so she can have her family name back fukin liar she has another fuker lined up,and scand.tell your mate dont make the same mistake again,if you have commitments outside of thailand just enjoy yourself,be warned.

OK, then, he can come and see me for a free consultation and I will tell him what she needs to do so they can be divorced without going to court. Since assets are not an issue and if she is agreeable to the divorce, we can settle this without him having to see her.

Your "friend", like so many idiots before him, and idiots to follow, deserve to be fleeced for their ignorance alone. The same principles of business and common sense apply here as in every corner of the earth. His is a story/fable, repeated daily. Thai women may be the smartest con artist ever. Now, after the fact, forget the legal bullshit and self serving member commercials for "Legal Services". Bottom line, it is not likely to ever be an issue as a Thai marriage has little if any recognition outside Thailand. The money and property is history, the marriage was a sham, the bitch is gone. Learn and prosper if you have any baht left. If not, follow the like minded poussy whipped off a balcony. Cei Lagere.

No Need To Divorce Her.

Just Kill The Bitch And Move On.


Jeeez.....!

totally agree with bellagrego us expats that have been here long enough know the score,never mind what we tell first time visitors to thailand their prick rules their brains,they seem to think a few thousand pound here and there doesnt matter but some of these girls are really proffesional and will bleed you dry we could write books on the subject.

And they can wait, longer than you can ever imagine....

Everytime a farang gets into a situation such as this the poo house prophets cut loose with " I told you so." Doesn't this type of thing happen in western countries with their women. Do people realise that in western countries the divorce rate is 30% and the way the marriage laws are structured, they really give women more than their fair share on settlement whether they were the cause of the divorce or not. Most men wouldn't even consider marriage unless he was sure that he and his partner loved each other and they wished to share the rest of their lives together. So in reality Thai women are no worse than their western counterparts, maybe they do it more openly which does seem to attract the medias attention.

whats a misogynist?

total nonsense

The village "marriages" have no legal status but state Thai marriages are recognised in other countries

Couldn't have said it better
