Actually, my intentions go beyond the borders here. I am discovering a lot things that if fact, could be grounds for annulment. I am working with my Thai lawyer presently and he has indicated that I have grounds for divorce due to adultery.

It would help if one knew what country you were in, in order for someone to provide advise.  In, NSW, Australia, as long as you have access to her account, and it was agreed upon, you have not committed any offense, providing you are not using the content for illegal purposes.

 

Also, her consent, perceived or otherwise, which you will have to prove, will negate any breach of privacy.  The object of the exercise is to discredit her testimony and prove that any allegations against you are false, and that she, is in fact, the one who has caused the marriage breakdown.  Unfortunately, in most cases in NSW, it is the woman who they take to be the aggrieved,  not the man.

 

Under the family law court jurisdiction, your lawyer can gain access to the emails if they are substantive in content, are relevant and will assist in proving you case.  However, if you are somewhere else, then as someone suggested, Google that country's laws and then get yourself a bloody good lawyer.

 

Will cost you but at least it will give you peace of mind knowing where you stand, especially if children and financials are involved.  There, if a divorce is granted, the proceeds are normally 60/40, the higher to the woman and they normally gain  custody of the children.

So your are getting divorced and you still keep the same passwords knowing that she has full access to everything? That does not sound very smart to me. I guess she could easily write or post something in your name which might cost you a lot of money or other trouble. Are you willing to risk that?

I should have clarified. They were open to her. I have since changed mine but she hasn't. I am certain she has new accounts which I will not attempt to access. That would definitely be illegal.

The OP asked for legal advice.

I think Superglue was giving a moral opinion.......don't do to others what would be hurtful to you.

I may be legally entitled to look at emails/Facebook etc, but why would I invade other people's privacy if I wouldn't like them to do that to me.

 

My accounts are open to her. She knows my passwords for all my Emails, Facebook, and other social accounts. When adultery plays a factor, trying to make sense of it is difficult.

Got a question about martial property. My wife and I have separated and getting divorced abroad. While we were married, she had an apartment that she was paying for. After getting married, I helped support her with mortgage payments. After moving abroad, she sent money home to finish paying for the property. It was paid off last year. Now we are divorcing abroad. Do I have rights to that property as well?

Any ideas?

What does that have to do with my question?

The golden rule is applicable.

Well, the golden rule isn't making any sense at the moment.

I getting divorced and in the process of gathering information about adultery, I have been reading over some of her e-mails. I have recently discovered that she has been Googling about computer crime. Here's the deal. I made the account for her and one for her daughter. I made the passwords and used my email as the recovery. All the passwords are known between us and she has full knowledge that I have looked into her email in the past to write and forward messages. She's also aware that I have the password to her Facebook account as I made that as well.

If there was no attempt to hack the password and I freely had access to her accounts, does she have any grounds to file a charge? Mind you, we are not in Thailand.

Thanks in advance.

Divorce in Thailand is easy if you both agree, just sign some paperwork at the amphur and return the marriage certificates, but you do have to show up in person although it could be at two different amphurs.

 

Not sure if a certified power of attorney by the Thai embassy will work, as you would have to get it from the Thai embassy or general consulate in your country. (A divorce at an embassy is often not recognized by other countries). 

 

 

Interesting comment about "At two different Amphors" Would the official divorce certificate need to include both parties signature or would one signature suffice on one divorce certificate and the other on another one?

She could have started the divorce a while back without you knowing. She just has to (falsely) state you abandoned her.

 

During her 4 day vacation she goes to Court for the final judgement, gets the papers and registers them at the Amphur.

 

Job done, and you will not be there to argue.

I thought the abandonment law had to be 3 years or more? We've been separated only a few months and she's still here in my country.

Well, that's a bit of relief. 

If the courts allow a divorce after abandonment, does it still need to be registered at an Amphor office or is the judgement the final document?

My wife divorced her first husband and there were only 3 signatures on the back of the certificate. Wonder how that happened...

Thanks.

She's the one seeking the divorce and I'm worried that she's heading back to Thailand to divorce alone. I was under the impressions BOTH parties have to be present to sign the certificate, not just one and the witnesses.

Hi all

I have a quick question. My wife and I have separated and she is seeking a divorce. We live abroad and she has a residency card. I was told she returning back to Thailand for a short trip, 4 days. Can she legally divorce me while she is there alone or do the two of us have to sign a divorce certificate together?

Any ideas?

I am trying to locate someone's telephone number in regards to a legal matter. I have the person's name and Thai ID number. I need this person to confirm some important information. Does anyone know how I can go about and locate this person using the Thai ID and name?

It's extremely important that I get in touch with this person.

Thanks

Give 'em guns....Let the assho**s

Kill each other!

There is gang violence in every country. Is that your solution? Sounds a bit uneducated...

In my 14 year stay in Bangkok, this is by far the worst nerve I've encountered. I recall several times having to get out of my way on a narrow sidewalk to let an obnoxious motorcycle driver pass by. I also recall not moving a couple of times on those off days and ended up either being clipped or having a short conversation with the fellow on the bike.

I travel through the construction at Daokanong everyday and I frequently see incidents of motorcycle and pedestrians while en route and it would be good to see those sidewalks cleared of those arrogant and selfish taxi motorbike drivers. Only time will tell.

The police officers who let them go, should be investigated AND lose their jobs.

But I guess the Junta wants to keep such "quality" policemen.

The police let them go because they couldn't detain them under law. This would have happened in any country. At the time of release, the police didn't have any CCTV footage or news that the hospital reported the theft. This would happen in any country but because it's Thailand and you definitely have a prejudice against the law enforcement and current government, it's fair game to bash them with any opportunity available.

I am more than certain that these two boys are NOT enjoying their time in Cambodia and are in fact, glued to any access of Internet that they can get to be filled in on the breaking story. I'm also certain that they are preparing to return back to the USA in any means available. What will wait for them there will surely be interesting.

I wish him a speedy recovery.

DNA tests will show that this is an Asian tiger, probably of Burmese origin. RTP claim that the tiger made a confession. The tiger interpreter provided a certified translation that read "burp". The tiger now has spectacularly withdrawn her confession, saying she was beaten into the confession while a plastic bag was placed over her head.

That's a real mature remark. A person is suffering in the hospital and you have to make a mockery of the situation. Sometimes I'm ashamed of being a foreigner in Thailand. Show some compassion and leave other news in its' own thread.

Sounds like she fell asleep. RIP

Pure speculation

She might have been high on yaa baa and found her boyfriend with another woman.

So can't say if it is what she wanted or not. It is what it is, as many here say.

Far fetched speculation....

"They may be feeling guilty for the crime they have done."

​Note to myself.... Don't do something wrong because I might feel bad about it.

Police in Thailand have a long proven record of using scapegoats and of prosecuting the wrong person, and that is why this case needs scrutiny. It bothers many that government officials are not emphasizing a thorough investigation and fair trial to make sure they got the right person, but rather focusing on a quick conviction. There are way too many open questions, rumors of torture, and hints at a cover up at this point.

Also.... Here is a link to the article that some quotes are being pulled from. It is worth reading the whole thing.

http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2014/10/07/koh-tao-murders-accused-men-recant-confessions-tell-embassy-lawyer-they-were-tortured

Interesting link, thanks.

It seems the BIB are claiming the Myanmar national being held incommunicado as a witness is to prevent ' interference '. This is good from an organisation that hasn't stopped talking from Day 1 and is now holding press conferences to prove guilt, who needs due process in a court ?

The lawyer from Myanmar's Embassy says the two suspects are recanting their confession claiming it was made under duress.

It's also reported that the Embassy is ' satisfied ' with everything whereas a senior diplomat is quoted as elsewhere as disputing that claim from the Thai Foreign Ministry.

Way to go LoS this has been textbook procedure from the start so don't stop patting yourself on the back.

What's this all about? Now the two are denying involvement? Have the police answered back regarding this article? I think there is a crack in the dam and a little bit of murky water is leaking out....

Beer and wine?

Migrant workers?

Is wine cheap on Koh Tao?

I know in Bangkok the cheapest wine is about 350 Baht a bottle. Surely these people won't spend a days wage on a bottle of wine.

If it were wine, I'm quite certain it would be the Lao Khao (rice wine) that can be purchased at any local shop for around 100 Baht. Any event, if they did drink beer and wine, I would be most certain there would have been empty bottles close by. Even myself while having a few drinks at the beach, walking to the nearest trash pale to deposit my empties isn't high on my priority list.

2,000 unregistered migrant workers paying 500 Baht a head... That's 1,000,000 Baht a month. How many police officers are normally on the island working full-time? Sounds like a generous monthly bonus to me. No wonder a lot of the photos depicting police with high tech mobile phones can be seen over the past couple of weeks.

I think I read that there were 6 full time BIB there but I could be wrong.

6 officers? Give or take a few part-timer's? Wow, that's phenomenal. I wonder what they'll do now for their bonuses.
