First you cannot even apply for divorce without grounds and this could mean for 2 years. You can divorce at the ampure if both agree. Anything you sign at the ampur is binding but they have no authority or role in agreeing to anything,.

While you are still married you are entitled to 50 % of all marital assetsl. This will include the company. You will have to pay child support around 2000 baht a month. Anything you agree to pay can and will be enforced in Australia.

It is in her interest to settle the matter quicky..until she does she cannot sleep with anyone else as you can sue him for adultery.

Stop trying to be nice...she will not be. Put the bare minimum on the table and if she will not take that just wait a few years as it will aparently bring her to a more reasonable negotiating position.

Wheter she signed you out of the company or not you have exactly the same share of its value thatshe does.

As we have been separated for a bit over 3 months, I do have a new girlfriend and she knows about it too which also makes her a little pissed which I understand.

But having a girlfriend I assume could count as adultery wouldn't it?I mean she could take a screenshot at my girlfriends facebook page, but could that be enough evidence? What evidence is needed to be considered adultery?

No here men can have girlfriends but she cannot have a boyfriend unless you agree. Find out the facts and get your bargaining position settled. She cannot divorce you for I think it is 3 years. Of course she could divorce you in Australia but that will take longer and you also must have counselling etc. If she did there you could lose bigtime but here you are the one with the gold chips.

lol... Seriously?

I can commit adultery and it is ok, but she is not allowed too?

I have read on a few websites, it does only mention things about adultery about a woman sleeping with a man and not vice verse, I didn't really think of it as anything.

You need to take care of your daughter, since you asked. She's more important in this world than you are, and you should remember that every day you're alive. And if you don't, don't ever call yourself a man.

I don't think this is the topic at hand, but thanks for your imput

Take the kid back to your home country and take care of everything yourself.

Don't give her a penny.

I don't think that would be so easy. Plus I would not want my daughter not knowing her mother and father, if I didn't have her, I wouldn't be here still.

I swear I'll wake up in a moment. People are telling you to pay as little as possible and have your daughter live on less than 400 quid a month!? If I split with my wife, I'd do whatever it too to make sure my daughter still had the best education I could afford, the best diet and as much opportunity in life as I could with whatever financial sacrifice I had to make. If that meant moving into a tiny studio flat, selling my car and working all the hours I could, I'd do it without a thinking twice. Any leftover money would be saved in trust/high-interest savings accounts.

Seriously, posts and replies like those in this thread make me feel ashamed to be living in the same country.

It is not like her family is poor, they are a middle class family and now have our company so it is not like she doesn't have access to good food, shelter and education.

This is more of her wanting to take more than she is entitled to in my opinion, it is not like I will be paying 10K a month forever, she is only 4 years old, her grandparents buy her a lot of stuff, I still do. The reason I came on here to post is, if I was being reasonable or not, I don't know too much about the laws in Thailand or the court system as I have never faced it personally.

Just seeing if others have input in the matter or some experiences with going through a divorce and all the stuff that comes with it.

Thanks for the replies, they have given me a few ideas.

Well the problem with the company, when we first set it up, I did not have a work permit for nearly 2 years, I know she has got proof of me working and sending emails when I did not have a work permit, not sure that would get me in trouble or not, but I rather be safe then sorry.

We both studied in the same subject in Australia, but she has her masters, she is a hard worker, I will give her that.

We put in about 50% each I would say, I did bring in all the business and my clients are willing to work with me rather than her, this is why it is not really such a big matter. She can keep the company and her clients she got.

She did take me out of the company a very sneaky way though, apparently all she needed was a copy of my passport with my signature on it, but really I don't care as I can build it up again.

The School is not a normal government school, I am not 100% sure, but it is decent, has a swimming pool and good teacher, but not a top international school or anything like that.

We have 1 car which I am willing to give to her to take my daughter to school with, have all the crap in the house etc, I don't want any of it.

I just don't want to pay anything more than 10,000 Baht per month plus 50% school fees.... As she gets older I will happy pay more as teens can be expensive, but if she takes me to court, I want to know if I jut told the court I am willing to give her all the assets, I just want to pay 10K a month which I think is fair (maybe I will say 5K just to piss her off but still pay the 10)....

Is anyone you know paying more that 10K a month for a 4 year old?

Sorry my auto spell check is making it hard to read my posts

I don't want to wait on the divorce, I want it asap as myself and 2 other partners have just started a company but we agreed my name is not going on it until the divorce happens, just incase she wants to try claim some if it.

So I am legally unemployed at present with a education visa.

But I am just don't want to give her what she wants. 20K is outragous, especially if I pay for all school and medical fees.

I want to pay for the child, not her.

I just want to know what are her chances at winning in court asking for 20k a month? Any similar stories?

Wow,

I thought I had a problem with my upcoming divorce.

Mate just leave now and speak to her by phone only until she has calmed down a little.

Hang in there mate and get out of there asap.

I said she can have the company as I would like for her to continue making money as she will be looking after our daughter most of the time. A

I'm not battling for custody as I said as long as I can talk to her on the phone any day and see her once a week I'm fine as I think kids have a better bond with there mothers and she is a really good mother to her.

I just think 20k a month for 1 child is way too much, my brother is paying less than that for 2 kids in Australia.

But if she wants to take it to court, i will. But i will go for 5 K a month if she doesnt agree out of court for 10k... Although I will probably still.buy her clothes and thing.

Ok,

We had a company together and after I decided to leave for personal reasons, we have agreed to divorce which she then kicked me out of our company which I'm fine with.

She is asking me for 20K a month for our 4 year old daughter, she goes to a local Thai school which is 30k a semester plus books.

I offered her 10k per month plus 50% school fees and medical fees as I'm not employed yet and won't start a business until after the divorce goes through, but I said I will pay 100% of school fees and medical fees when I get my business up and running again.

I thought it was a fair deal, but she wants nothing less of 20k a month....So I said if she wants to take it to court, I will go for 5K a month plus 50% on school and medical.

Am I being reasonable? If she takes me to court on this, do you think she has a good shot at winning since I have no job at present?

thanks, ll this visa stuff confuse the crap out of me. This website was a huge help

Both will change my visa to a ED visa anyway wouldn't it?

ok, my immO visa finished in 2 weeks, it woun't be renewed under immiO.

So I am getting a ED. So do I need to do anything at immigration here?

What is the difference if I went to the immigration office to get a re-entry or just go to Laos without?

Ok,

I got all my document, and I will be heading to Loas next week, with my paperwork, passport, photos etc.

As I am on an ImmO visa now, Do I need to go to Immigration here to get a re-entry visa or anything?

Or will I be sweet just to go to Loas by minivan?

Hi,

I couldn't find any info on this here, perhaps I am blind.

What documents do I need for my ED visa?

I have just got confirmation from my language school about my certificate that has come back from the ministry of education.

I will go to Laos to get the visa in a few weeks.

Thanks

ok, do I still need to have the 400,000 Baht in the bank for last 2 months?

If so, how strict are they on it? I have had over 400K most of last year and have just over 300K now. If I top it up to 400K now, would they accept that you think?

Hi,

I have a Imm O visa (spouse visa) that I have been on for 4 years.

Things happen between the wifey and I and I won't be renewing my imm O visa.

I am thinking of doing the ED (education visa) as I do want to learn Thai and will start up a business soon and get a B visa (but this question will be for another day)

So, therefore.

I have 2 months left on my O visa and heard that I need at least 1 month remaining to apply for the ED visa.

So, I have paid a school a fee for a 1 year course learning Thai, they will give me a letter to take to immigration.

But I believe that I need to apply for this abroad, Cambodia, Singapore, Myanmar etc... It will take up to 3 days aswell.

So will I need to get my re-entry stamp first from immigration in Bangkok (where I live) first.

How does it all work?

Any experiences and advice will be appreciated.
