Hi
I'm currently out of Thailand at the moment but have just found out from very reliable sources that a close friend ; a Thai lady that I've known for about 15 years; has been beaten up several times by her English partner. They are not married but have a 11 year old child together. The child has witnessed some of the attacks on her mother. He has now left them basically leaving them broke. I have suggested that she needs to go to the local police and register these attacks and give his details and hopefully get him arrested next time he leaves or arrives in Thailand. She is reluctant to do this as he is the father of child. I've told her that it is beyond this. Does anyone know where she can get cheep legal advice and if this bastard has to legally pay regular support to this child? I suppose she needs to head to the British consulate as a starting point. Any other advise would be appreciated.
Cheers
