1. Divorced women never enforce agreements which aren't to their benefit. 2. But they will happily undermine the father at every opportunity. 3. Courts rarely punish mothers for breaking divorce agreements. This is the way the non-Muslim world works.

Not all that sure about that, When you get a married extension the paperwork isn't enough, they want to see her at immigration and in the home (and they generally ask her if she's happy in the marriage). As far as I can see the same rules will apply to a dependents extension, dependent will need to be present in the home, and they will ask him if he's happy living with dad. But I could be totally wrong, so OP should call immigration and ask if his dependent extension is still valid when his dependent son has run away from home. That would be better than immigration finding out later and ruling him as being on overstay since the boy moved out.

Easier to wait for the OP to report to the police and see what happens next. Trying to force a teenage Thai boy to live with a guy he doesn't like (while his mom empowers him) will be like banging your head against a brick wall that hits back. The OP just doesn't have realistic expectations on the outcome of this situation.

Sadly it's not very good, Season 1 was 100x better.

At age 15 he can make his own choices and nobody will enforce any papers. (OP hasn't declared how close to 15 the boy is) The VISA extension will have 'defacto' as a get out clause, which the Thais will prefer to enforce on a 'problem' foreigner.

If the kid's no longer living with you, your VISA extension will be invalid. Best not to go to the police and admit he's left IMHO. They'll call immigration, then you'll be gone. At age 15 kids in Thailand can effectively choose where they want to live without any parental consent.

I don't think too much about people I don't know.

Nope, I generally believe everyone I meet that claim to have been postmen, builders, painters and decorators, etc. But my real name isn't Pollyanna.

I've met plenty of SAS guys ........... people in bars lie!

Rats are not native to NZ or AUS. If the creator had wanted them there, he would have put them there.

Thailand isn't a destination for western 'white collar' workers. Don't think I've ever encountered another expat with a degree.

No BKB cards worked in any ATM when their system kept crashing last year.

When I went to my woman's village they were calling her the 'slut that went to whore in Bangkok'. In Thai not knowing I understood.

Photo of thug, followed by photo of bonkers slut.

Forget insurance, accept death when it comes!

Why not?

Not required IMHO .......... I always assume that any women that voluntarily talks to me (socially) is a hooker.

As I said, always on low-lifes.

Tattoo on girl in Thailand = prostitute. Tattoo on girl in the west = slut. The bigger the tattoo, the more they are. Tattoo on guy in Thailand = low-life. Tattoo on guy in west = thug. Just my opinions, obviously there are exceptions but I will avoid all obviously tattooed people.

Looking on any woman as your 'partner' seems to me like an easy way to lose all your money. But that may just be my twisted mind. Nearly all sex is transactional .......... Briffault's Law. But tell me, after 3 disastrous fails, are you still looking for age appropriate love with no financial gain to her .......... or have you given up? Please feel free to include God's thoughts in your answer.

But what really amuses me is a guy that has God looking out for him personally, suffers 3 disastrous marriages (women's fault not his), never pays for sex .... but is an expert on both marriage and prostitution ............ beggars belief really.

I'd like to see that!

I don't see much 'easy money' to be earned in India. Korea and Japan, maybe.

Us retired an fully funded folk all have way too much time on our hands. Which is better than having to scrabble around for every penny.

You think a 0.2 error is significant? I think it isn't.
