There are about a dozen different reasons you can apply for a divorce in Thailand and one of them is adultry. If you can supply proof or a witness that she is doing what you say you have her by the short hairs. Look at one of the sponsers for Thai Visa (Siam Legal) and you can get all the info you need for divorce in Thailand.

Thank you, yes I have emails between them and I have proof that she has taken other Farangs money and there is a number of Farangs who are angrey. But this is one very good professional Gold digger and am worried about what she will do and who she will bribe. A thai friend has said that even laywers can not be trusted.

If she has a car, get a GPS tracker (3,800bht) track her and catch her in the act.... (it is best to have videor/camera etc)

dont get angry, dont hit her etc etc. Just gather evidence.

Do not anounce your intentions to divorce, gather your money, hide it, protect it etc. before you let her know

good luck

Well here is my storry.

The wife demanded 20K a month and we do have two children. The wife also works a job and earns 20K and I also built her a town house with 7 units. Currently she earns on average 10-15K off of the town houses. (they are not at capacity)

So her total is 50+K

So after doing this for 4 years, I find out she has been having an affair. Now she is at the house I just paid 90K USD down on. The total is 7.7million baht for the house.

I cant divorce her, because I have to reside in the states to do so. I cant divorce her in Thailand because our marriage is not registered in Thailand.

So is 20K too much.....

Of course, and she will get more out of u, trust us.

I use TINIDAZOL for minor stomach bacteria issues.... but your oyster issue sounds more severe

good luck... oysters of all shapes and sizes have proven time and time again to be dangerous in my life

My 4 y/o son has a cute luke krung girl in his class. He is going to marry her. My daughter is only 1.5 y/o she hasn't made up her mind yet but I hope she choses a luke krung man. The nice thing is they will fit in fine with each others families. BTW I'm not accepteing anything less than 20 million Baht Sin Sod for my daughter so start saving now.

Well, there would a 50 year gap between us, by the time I would be interested... but if u want to auction her off for 20 million, should be no problem.

I've lived in 4 countries. Argentina was pretty noisy but the noise was mainly machines (cars etc). Argentinians are very much like "normal" people (noise phobic).

On the other hand, most Thai teachers use an amplifier in class. Why? To get the attention of students because they can't make the students shutup without an amp.

I refuse to use an amplifier in class. My voice is considerably louder than any of the pathetic amplifiers in use in Thailand. By now, all of my students know that I can be louder than the whole class & if need be, I can shut them up in 1 second. I think it's perceived as a weakness if a teacher uses an amp.

It seems to me that Thais simply accept this bloody awful racket...just to avoid being called anything but a 'jai yen' person. This is clearly absurd as my students know what they can get away with & what they can't get away with. The result is a relatively quiet classroom where I hardly have to raise my voice anymore.

"Volume" in Thailand is akin to "penis size". The louder you are, the bigger the penis. I, however, am not talking about the size of my "old fella".

Please study up on the physics of sound, impact on distance on sound, class room acousitics, reverberation, impact on speech noise on speech perception, and the prominence of Otitis media in school age children....

Then after doing all of that, you may find you appreciate class room amplifiers... (maybe)

my two boys

very nice. like the rubber boots - you aren't from Newfoundland by chance?

No

I am from the boyous of Texas.

I imagine if u the situation was as you discribed, texas, move to alaska, then one must fit the alsaka residency requruirements before one can file for divorce in alaska.

This lawyer said he had gone throught the same situation himself. He was divorced while living abroad from his former wife, a Korean national.

He said I would have to find a lawyer in Texas that can take care of all my needs while I reside in Thailand. That said, I would still fall under all Texas rules, and I still could stand to get royally raped over this.

I spoke with an American lawyer today and he said all divorce proceeding really have to be done in America, and more than likely done in Texas. The fact that the marriage is not registered in Thailand makes no difference, and even if it was we would then need to be divorced in both Thailand and the USA (texas).

I was hoping that Texas law would accept Thai proceedings, but it sounds like I stand to really get raped over this...

my two boys

All though her actions seem to be those of a typical BG, she is from a upper middle class family. Money does not impress her, when she has always had more than enough.

I certainly hope her boyfriend contacts her again and they "make up" such that she will want the divorce. As of right now she only wants to punish me and make me live in a life of mysery, all because of my intervention. When the truth is, all I did was discover where this boy lived (a guy that could provide her with an income of 15K baht a month). As I said before, my mother in law is the one that relayed the message to the boy friend...

Which frieghtened off like a scared rabbit.

All I wanted to do was gather facts for the lawyer...

If the boy friend was still around, their relationship would have only grown even more by now.

Honestly my primary concern was that this guy could not provide for my kids and my wife would eventually pass an STD to me.

Not that sex occurs very often. (around 4 times a year) That said, a virus, is forever or at least until one dies.

A marriage abroad is recognised in Thailand. You could possibly force the Texas marriage to be valid according to Thai law if you go the court way, regardless of if the wife agrees or not. Bigamy is illegal in Thailand so the law should *probably* have to act on what’s presented to them and order it registered. A bit strange so you'll certainly have to ask a lawyer

I bet the "wife" doesn't want the marriage and divorce to be registered in Thailand so you could use that as a bargaining chip and write a divorce agreement giving her more than Thai law (peanuts) and less than Texas law. Assuming that Texas law allows that. If the wife doesn’t buy that, your option of choosing to divorce in Thailand once marriage is registered there is still there, assuming that Texas law allows that and that you have valid reason to divorce in Thailand. All up to if a Thai court would accept to act on what's presented to them, evidence of a legal wedding abroad

As always: Get video evidence of when the “wife” admits to infidelity and abandoning her children, she did nothing wrong if you can’t prove it

I am willing to give her around 100K+ USD in liquid assests, education trust funds for the children and rentall property. All though the property is in her name, and purchased here in Thailand via my money, Texas law states that I can have 50% of the value of the property. Any how, I think my offer is more than fair considering the facts, essentially the split would be a 70/30% split & I also paid for her MA degree in the states. This split also includes my retirement funds.

I am also willing to give 10% of my commissions earnings that I earn in Thailand to the children. But this I will not submit on paper because I do not know how long I will be in Thailand.

I just want out!!!!!

IsanLawers sounds like a good group, but I am in BKK

I'd have to get an audio or video rigged of her discussing her boyfriend or maybe record her talking over the phone with me regarding him.

The trouble is, they have broken up, so at this moment in time the relationship is over. The mother in law pulled some strong arm tactics without my prior knowledge against the boy friend and he fled the scene in a hurry.

I can probably get the mother in law and my boss to testify against her, because they know she had a boy friend, and she has discussed this with them rather openly.

Thus said, hind sight being 20/20 I wish I would have just let her run off with the boy friend, because the relationship I have now is not worth anything. Basically, she is punishing me from interviening with her boy friend and her.

I'd really like a divorce, but as I mentioned, is looks as though I can not get a divorce that is recognized in the states unless the marriage is registered here in Thailand. Up until that time my option is to remain married here, or go back to the states and let her rape me through American divorce laws....

Which really is so unfair... a woman can go cheat... and gain so much, the laws are practically rewarding her!!!

i purchased a "low jack" for 3700 baht and that is how I found my wifes boy friend. He ran off after he learned I knew where he lives.

my point is, if u get a low jack you can then find her, video her etc etc

good luck

Our marriage in the US is not registered within Thailand, I do not want to get divorced under Texas law because she stands to gain TOOOOOO much, all because she wants to have sex with some one else.

The wife refuses to register the marriage, thus apparently giving me 2 options.

1- stay with her and live in a loveless marriage

2 - I go back to Texas and file for divorce after living there for 6 months and then be forced to pay alimony and child support at dramatically higher rates than I would have to pay if the divorce was granted in Thailand

The question is, if I the couple was married in America, move to Thailand and then file for divorce while living in Thailand, will the divorce be recognized in the US? Also exactly what laws apply concerning divission of property etc? Any lawyer referals would be appreciated.

Quick Details:

2 Children

Married state of Texas

10 years married

Wife admits infedelity of a recent relationship lasting over 2 months

Wife abandoning children during the relationship

Wife does have a "physical condition that prevents cohabitation" (thai law)

I just bought a house and the affair was revealed to me about 4 weeks after the house purchase!!!!

Any how, the wife has suposedly cut all communications with her lover, but she is constantly resenting the fact that I interviened with her relationship, and keeps toying witht he idea of divorce. At this moment in time I am in full support of a divorce.

I hope there is some advice out there.

Drink or not drink - doesnt really matter too much to me. If you are fun person it will not matter much and you will have no issue within a normal social circle. Get out and LIVE!

I like to shoot pool and I dont drink, but I have a good time.... I never let that get in my way.

Funniest thing,

The wife requesting for visitation rights to see the boy friend that she has been cheating on me with for the past 6 months (reportedly 6 months).... and in her mind it was a perfectly logical request.

I meet with the lawyer today.

Met her in the US at college.

She latter met her Tha boy friend, the guy she is cheating on me with, in Thailand.

So bar girl, ho girl, good girl....

all I can say is good luck

The sexiest thing:

When she tell you she is an orphan!

So you have children using lighters??? Sounds like the parents need a course in stupidity management.

Seems you have not been to many parties in Thailand, especilally on the countryside. I just wanted to warn people who are not aware of the danger of balloons. There were about 150 people at the party. Most of the men were drunk. A few kids grabbed a lighter from a table.

Sounds like you could use a course in understanding the Thai situation.

I know what supidity is thanks.

I got to get out of here, this place is really getting to be too much.

Those stun guns are not very effective like the ones in the states. I once watched a guy shock himself with the stun guns being offered at Klong Tom (to the dismay and disapointment of the seller)

Any how, the stun gun was not very effective, it seemed to stun the guy just about as bad a a 9volt battery would do, and that was the point of why the guy shocked himself with it. He was telling some prospective buyers not to expect much out of the Stun guns found here. He said it would mostly just get someone even more angry. Which I would have to agree with.

The telescoping saps look pretty effective though...

I wish us all luck.

The co. I work for just had a package reported by DHL as "being distroyed in a ware house fire." The value of the package, 9000 USD. The reimbursment rate, 200 USD. The office staff fudged the documents for tax reasons.... sometimes it pays just to be honest

I had a mercedes do essentially the same today. The driver trying his best to squeze all he could out his Mercedes with a retro fitted Japanese Turbo engine in his crappy black mercedes with a tail pipe that you could fit a mellon in.

Any how, he was flogging his car the best he could to race up in front of me... I realized what he was up to... so I slowed down and let him around me, in order to allow him the honor of being first to the red light.

Now if I were in the states in my M3... I don't think I would have so much resolve. But that is a BMW v/s Dodge/Mercedes kind of issue.

Just thinking of the courtesy the Frenchman was shown by the "nice gentleman" with the tuk tuk in Phuket.

We don't know what was said by the Frenchman before the driver whacked him. It takes two to Tango.

Doesn't really matter, "whacking" is not an option!!

Danielson,

Wack ON.... Wack OFF...
