  1. I would have wrote squirts if that's what I meant, that said I did actually write squits but it must have autocorrected to squats. I guess squits is localized.
  2. investigation for what? Someone had the squats, tried to get to the bathroom and did't make it, I'm not sure why that needs an investigation. If it was a freshly curled out solid then that would be a different story.
  3. I don't need the permission, I show the divorce doc showing I have full custody. However when I flew out this time on Monday evening we all used the digital scanners, never even spoke to an IO, I could do this as I didn't need the re-entry permit this time. we've left and come back in a few times already now. I visited the MOFA and had all the docs certified, easy process really, could book my slot while I was there.
  4. Is there an adult with you who can explain it to you? Let me try and explain it like I just explained it to my 9 year old, he understands it. It is in relation to his phone pinging near the airport, and the assumption that this would mean he is on his way to the airport. my response was to say it doesn't necessarily mean he is on his way to the airport, he could be in one of the many hotels near the airport, I highlighted this by saying as I live near the airport my phone would also be pinged many times a day near the airport, that does not mean I am going to the airport. There you go, explained in the way even a 9 year old could understand, although he also understood my initial post. It's strange that you're the only one that didn't understand it. 😏
  5. Jesus wept, it's a figure of speech. I live near the airport so if the phone company checks it then it would ping my location near the airport every day, it doesn't mean I am at the airport or going to the airport. Any more silly questions?
  6. My phone pings every day near the airport, I live nearby. it proves nothing, there are hotels all around here. Of course one would assume he was on his way to the airport if he had a flight due.
  7. An update on this. I went to MOFA, found someone there that would do the translations required, booked online for the same day to submit the documents. Paid and handed the receipt to the translator who collected the stamped docs a few days later and sent them to me by EMS. No cost for the EMS or the collection. Total translation cost for 2 x birth certificates (The translations I already had were rejected by MOFA as being incorrect) 1 x divorce certificate, 1 x document showing the terms of divorce etc. Total paid the translator was 1500 THB. This obviously doesn't include the stamp fees paid directly to MOFA. I was only required to pay after she collected the stamped docs from MOFA. I had emailed a company in Trendy for a cost for translation, they came back (a few days after everything was completed) with 900 THB per page, more than double what I paid in MOFA. There is no official translator in MOFA but the staff there directed me to lady standing not far away named Am who had the translations done within the hour, along with required copies etc, all for 1500.
  8. Parent, I divorced their mum and got full custody. Changed the marriage visa to dependent/parent visa then. I have extended twice on this visa. Both Times would not take into account my income and insisted on the 400k in the bank. I used my Foreign Currency account with Bangkok Bank. I think you need to ask immigration this question to be honest, it seems it all depends on who is at the counter handing back the passports, this is why it's difficult to answer. This was at Chaeng Wattana.
  9. Hard to answer correctly, one time on collection I was asked to provide updated bank book showing 400k, the next time I was not asked to provide updated bank book. Both occasions the money had to be in the account 3 months before applying.
  10. Maybe badly written, I mean they hold UK and Thai passports, I have them in my possession . It was not an acrimonius divorce, there are no issues with that side of things, my question is only about the translation etc.
  11. I am considering taking my children to live in UK, they were born in Thailand, Thai mother etc, hold both passports. I am divorced from their mother and have full custody. My question is related to the birth certificates and divorce cert/document being translated to English for use in UK and certified, I believe MOFA should be involved. Can anyone shed any light on the requirements and process please?
  12. They told me last month you need to be in the Yellow book and have the pink card, this was confirmed by their call centre. This was to continue paying in. I had no issue claiming back what had been paid in.
  13. I would also be concerned she has borrowed money against the property.
  14. How stupid are you? Every question you have asked in answered by me in this thread, you are boring to the point of tedium. request for PM is to not answer your questions, it is to free others up from having to read your constant drivel on a subject you clearly have no understanding on, if you want answers to any of your questions read my posts, if your carer can't explain the answers to you then feel free to PM me.
  15. Read through my friend, it is very clear how to get the boy back, now if you want to squabble send me a PM so people are not bored any longer by you, even my backside has fallen asleep.
  16. As I said, you can bore a glass eye to sleep. to solve being repetitive and arguing with someone that clearly has nothing better to do other than arguing I will let you have what you will probably think is some victory. All my thoughts are in this thread and if anyone chooses to read them, followed by the tripe you have written they are free to do so.
  17. I never said it would solve the issue, I am focussed on what the law is and who has legal custody of the child in this instance, and if the father chooses to exercise his rights then yes, the child will be returned to the father and will be under his custody until he either gets married or reaches 20 years of age.
  18. You said this on page 1, I already countered that, please read below, this is factual: The child is subject to parental control of the parents until the child is legally determined to be an adult. Adulthood occurs when the child reaches the age of majority which is 20 years old in Thailand or when the child gets married. Until this time, parents have rights and obligations to their child. In this instance the father has legal custody of the child.
  19. I have read both your posts. I am not sure how doing the correct thing is rocking the boat. In 19 years I have had 2 dealings with the courts, both successful, both related to employees. It's the fear of doing the correct thing that allows the bad apples to function.
  20. Right let's take these one by one: The father has legal custody of the son, I assume we agree on this? If at any point he says the son is to be returned then this needs to happen, I assume we agree on this? If the son is with the mother when the father instructs he is to be returned it is up to the mother to ensure he is returned or picked up, I assume we agree on this? If we don't agree on this I can only assume you have no real understanding of the laws related to this. As for my situation, I have full custody of both my sons, I allow them to see their mother as when they want, if I call and say they are to be returned she knows to return them as she understands I can just block her access in the future. It is easy to say you would walk door to door in a condo building, in the real world however in a situation where the father understands this is a temporary situation that if it goes any longer HE HOLDS ALL THE CARDS LEGALLY. Yes he can go to the school and collect his son, even take the divorce documents with him to show the school who has full legal custody, but would it solve the issue? As for the police, I am sure in such a situation they will do what is legally correct or very simply you move it higher ups the chain of command, are you one of these cowards that just accept their lot here, scared to engage official due to horror stories about the friend of a friend on this forum? There are 2 things at play here, one is doing what he is fully entitled to do under the terms off the divorce, the second is allowing a cooling period, which he appears top be doing but that can't be allowed to go on indefinitely.
  21. You could bore a glass eye to sleep. Where do I say the mother can be legally forced to return the child? I say legally the child is the custody of the father and therefore should he demand the return of the son then this is what needs to happen. How that happens is another matter. Why is it suspect about not knowing where the ex wife lives? I know the condo where my ex wife lives but I have no idea which floor or room number, should I gain entry and go floor to floor knocking on each door, it happens, people don't always know where others live irrespective of whether it is not the way to the child school or not. As for your last comment, we can't face a relationship if the other person does not want that.
