I have no idea what you are on, I suppose you are just losing face and trying anything to don't look bad but you don't kidnap your own children and I'm asking about parents right and law, nowhere did I say I want to do something illegal but I guess you run out of anything to say. Who will not want to protect their child from an unstable person and I already explained that I have no problem for her to keep the children as long as she is sound of mind and not exposing them to danger as she did before.

Poor gold diggers, really a hard life, desperately gambling away a fortune and spending their life in shopping mall buying hand bags to help their family home. They need a lot of handbags and jewellery at home, also this poor gold diggers need the last new lips, boobs and botox available for survival purpose. Sleeping all day long is their way to fight for the future. Indeed you are right it's definitively the OP fault...

I don't think you can legally own a house in Thailand, a condo yes but a house? house and land 100% yours? if yes then again you would own the Chanote and without it she can't make credit. Now if you bought a house for her during marriage you are in theory entitled to half but indeed the court is not always fair with men and probably even less with foreigners here.

@Hummin my guess is that it would be for her to prove it was family purpose, so she would need maybe the school bill, house furniture bill etc. You said "Such as bank loans, lease, and also criminal economic charges" it doesn't sound like family purpose. And the probabilities for this kind of Thai women to spend on their kids, especially knowing that there is a responsible Farang behind, are really thins. Now if she made a loan to pay for the school and take care of their common children if they have, then OP should be more comfortable with this idea.

"After you get married, you are only responsible for your spouse’s debt if you and your spouse open a joint credit card or co-sign a loan. If both of your names are on the credit card’s account, you are responsible for paying off any debts that your spouse has on that credit card and vice versa." "Any created debts used by her personally or for her personal amusement (gambling), and not in any way for joint or family purposes, are her personal debts and not marital debts. Only common or debts incurred for family purposes are basically the responsibility of both spouses under Thai family laws."

maybe it would be good to double check before posting, it would be unfortunate if someone was taking your words as advise.

Are you sure about this? I read somewhere that you are not responsible for her credits and debts if you were not aware and didn't sign anything.

That's one good advise, right now I don't have a budget, she lost everything I bought for the family with another man. She would probably accept but it would not be cheap, I would need to present it a way that doesn't make her look bad. Hopefully nothing of the sort will happen again and if it happens I better to have some money hidden somewhere.

then let say enough to don't go to hospital but enough to be harmful to our children. I see a lot of kids in Thailand running around their house without shoes and looking skinny with parents that are not in hospital, that's the part I don't want for my kids and few horrible things that happen to them with parents not being in hospital.

much less than 20 unfortunately, so apparently it doesn't matter how old they are the requirement will be the same. Here I just want to know if I face this situation what would be my option, if she lose her mind completely, do I have to prove it, take a lawyer to show that's the case, if the lawyer is too expensive what could I do. Just to prepare myself if ever it happens, as she has already proved that she can go quite far when things not going the way she wants.

So you know nothing but you make assumptions? I'm not planning to take them from her unless she really become dangerous for them. I'm planning on making sure they have a roof, food, education and not having a pedophile step father or something like this and not letting my kids to an irresponsible person. Now she can be ok as long as everything is going well for her, means money, good boyfriend, etc but when she faces problems she is very selfish and quickly lose her <deleted>.

yes they have dual citizenship and they have both passports but I think they still need the letter of consent unfortunately.

Maybe she has someone, a sponsor and it would be bad for her if you discover it, you could be suing the cheater, so it would be much better for her if you were initiating the divorce. Also it's possible that she is very lazy and don't want to face the hassle of paperwork. Probably good to don't panic and think well about your options and obviously a good lawyer to know your options. Maybe you could get compensation from the cheater.
