Hello TV
I have been married to a Thai lady happily for a couple years now (no children and none planned), we married in Thailand and this was formally registered with the Ampur and British embassy (fully legit), and no prenup. I am expecting a large inheritance soon, and wonder what entitlement my Thai wife would have in case she suddenly decided she wanted to divorce - not expected, but I worry due to the sum involved. I wonder what the Thai law (or likely outcome) would be, and if not satisfactory, could I insist on this being dealt with by a UK court as a worse case scenario? How would a UK court likely side? Can I protect this from becoming an issue, or any general information would be much appreciated. We live in Thailand and intend for that to remain the case - my wife does not have right to reside in UK.
As I say, I am not expecting anything bad to happen, but I am obviously curious on the topic.
