She’s working, making a decent wage for a Thai, living with her mom who takes care of our son after school. she’s not paying rent, but I guess she’s paying her share of the water/electricity as well as her sister. She’s earning enough to have her own car, to go travel, to go out etc. So from the outside if she needs more money it’s because she’s not spending her money wisely. I understand there can be emergencies, and I I don’t mind paying for doctor bills and so on. It just seems like she has this idea that I am the sole provider for our son. Before I left Thailand the first time I left her with 35000 baht for emergencies, that money got spend on travelling.

I am undergoing an apprenticeship, and therefore I don’t have unlimited funds.

His mother is working as well, and is making a decent salary here. The 7500 is only to cover food/snacks/school van and so on. It’s not a full support for my ex. Honestly I just can’t see how you need to spend more than 7500 on a 6 old, for food/snacks/school van etc. It’s not like his mom is disabled or isn’t working.

Hi all Sorry if this topic has been discussed before. I have a 6 year old son here, that stays with my ex who’s is Thai. Since he was almost 4 I have been living in Denmark because I can’t really work and live here long term due to not having a bachelors so therefore I’m not able to obtain a work permit etc. I have been supporting him with 7500 baht every month as well as paying 2/3 of his school fees. I call him almost every day, and visit him when I’m able. This morning my ex told me that she thinks she should have it higher alimony. I think 7500 is a reasonable amount considering most people here make 15k a month. I mean he’s only 6, so I don’t really see what he needs a higher amount for. I’m here on holiday to visit him, and when I wouldn’t be pressured into to paying more she immediately upped the aggression so now she won’t let me see him, threatening with lawyers, saying that the alimony would be higher in Denmark ( even though it’s not Denmark). Personally I’m thinking she just wants to gauge me because she knows I’m here on holiday and I usually don’t get to spend time with him. Obviously I’m sad, but I don’t want to let her threaten me like that. We were never married, so the custody is in her name. As far as I understand, I’m not obligated to pay anything even though I would never stop supporting my son. So my question is how much is alimony normally in Thailand?
