Next time you might want to lead with that.  If she isn't ready to agree to divorce, no strings attached, why are you even in contact with her ?

 

Just ignore her completely.

as i said, trying to cut a long story short. it's long, believe me. 

but to answer your question, she is the mother of the 2 children who have stayed with me.

What area of law

family matters- along the lines of relationship breakdown, consent order, financial separation agreement, sole guardian of children, clean break order, that sort of area. short of full divorce as i am away from thailand at the moment, and will do that once i get back, as i have all the documents with me. wife in TH, me and children in the UK.

thats it in short. some urgency to the situation, hence asking in the original post for someone who is 'au fait' in the subject.

There is no "one" member , post in the family forum and you will get better responses and people who may have encountered similar issues /experience.

ok. understood. was hoping for a 'short cut' ...

so on this aseannow forum we have our experts. guys who give advice based on their vocational experience and wisdom. And the advice given by these guys can 99.99999' % be trusted.

if i can give examples.... Ubonjoe for visa related queries, Sheryl for medical problems, and Crossy to help us control the sparks from flying too far. (there are others in these fields i know!). If i need advice about the armed forces (SAS in particular), I just have to take a seat in an LK Metro bar.

However.... (if i may ask) who is the 'go to' person on here for legal (family matters) advice. fingers crossed there is one, and that they're allowed to be named...

TiA.

Prathamnak Soi 5, easy to find. Nice area

SHHHHHH!!!! lets's keep it between ourselves, I might have been there once or twice or....

sorry if this query is floating around here already...

but i just wondered...

Translation services around Pattaya... sometimes (usually) doubling up as travel agents and photo shops....

do they have to be certified or registered in any kind of way? if so, any way of checking that they really are? i had a translation done for an official document to take to embassy, but the translation was very bad, google translate could have done a better job....

to save problems in the future, how do i know which ones are 'official', and those that are not. it seems possession of a rubber stamp and blue ink pad are all the equipment needed to run such a business. 

just wondering...????.... I'm sure all is good and dandy, and they're all legitimate, after all, TiT, what could possibly go wrong...?

I think you can get an agreement signed using a lawyer. While not legally water tight, if bad comes to worse you can use it in court. If you feel now is a good time and possibly have a verbal agreement, then putting it in writing is worthwhile.

from my experience in Thailand, i can get a legal document to say that my dog is a parrot... it's how water-tight a seperation agreement or 'divorce in principle' document would be. i suspect not at all, but hoping someone may know different.

Divorce very easy, just instruct wife what to say at Amphur during the process. Didn't take more than 10 - 15 minutes in my case. Beforehand put an amount of money in an envelope and tell wife that you will handover when leaving Amphur. (in my case 20k + additional 1k for the lady at the Amphur. 

Important, both parties are willing to get a divorce without any discussions. 

Good luck ????

trying to cut a long story short....

i am not in thailand at present. seperated over 10 years ago. wife agreed to divorce eventually 2 years ago. official start of divorce papers sent from UK, but were ignored or hidden by other family member. ideally i wanted to 'buy' this agreement to divorce now, as circumstances are that she needs some money very soon. the circumstances may change when i eventually get to thailand and all cards are off the table. last but not least I DO NOT TRUST HER !!!

your plan would have been my preferred route, alas, i am not there...

is there any such thing as... ' divorce in principle' or 'seperation agreement' ?

obviously done in Thailand by a Thai lawyer that would be watertight come the time we are able to go to the amphur office together to get it signed officially. i do not plan to return to thailand for at least a few months, probably more, but it seems like circumstances have arisen where we can sort something out now.... at last.....

i was told years ago to drink plenty of H2O to flush stones out !!!

yeah i'll do that in future, but the horse has bolted before i closed the gate so to speak...

It's that time of life where i'm suffering with suspected kidney stones. What has been your experience? i would like to know your early signs, how long before you sought medical advice, how bad did it get, how it was diagnosed, treatment if any. If you had any treatment, where did you go? timeline from diagnosis to feeling back to 'normal'... appreciate yr stories... TIA

Cirrhosis, ascites and esophageal varices to the point of throwing up blood in a 48 y/o, Ouch!  Must be a hard core alcoholic.

severe liver damage. agree. sorry.

as has been mentioned... not a new thing at all... in the higher end hotels...

back in the year 2000, dusit charged 1000B. 

Stick to Dam's Bar. More action there than the WHOLE of Pattaya.

What would you say is the best brand for low water pressure, long life, overall reliability?

steibel eltron i've always used when i had to fit my own. never a problem, elements made in europe (germany) . only used for a few months in the cool season though, like now !!! 4.5 kW a bit weak for me.

yes replace it, or get it checked/ repaired. 12 years is good going, and it's a medium to good brand i know. the element is probably breaking down through corrosion, about 2k to repair...ish. but replace with same brand, you got another 12 yrs fingers crossed...

I have a simple question.

 

Why won't the government allow bars, pubs and entertainment venues to open to fully vaccinated people ?

and with vaccination certificates being sold on the streets for 100 B, what could possibly go wrong...

quite sad.

"I am worthless, do what you want with me (or use me as you please)"

addressing you as her elder brother, shows no love from her to you, just someone who does or should look after her.

she is obviously upset...

edit, i assume you quoted text from a written message, this is my best interpretation, as another post has mentioned, it would be easier to translate correctly knowing what provoked this response, but that is your business...

still legal tender in the UK. maybe try to 'sell' them to someone (from the UK) who is due to return home soon... if you can find someone that is...

3 attempts to start? does it fire reluctantly and cut out? smoke from exhaust whilst cranking the starter? once started and idling is it lumpy or hesitant?...
