My Lawyer here in Thailand has seen the official paper I have and says it is the correct divorce paper. QUESTION. Am i still married in the eyes of the english justice system.? Can i remarry in either england or thailand? I e-mailed the embassy in Bangkok who did not want to give any assistance. Anyone [must be] out there who has been in my position? Thanks ,in advance.

Mobi Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) My understanding is that the divorce is legal (recognised) in England, but that it in no way prevents the wife (or you) from going through the English courts to deal with matters relating to the estate or children of the marriage. No doubt others can advise better. Edited January 18, 2007 by Mobi D'Ark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mobi. No estate to sort out. all done but I have not informed [who?] british authorities re my divorce. I guess I will marry again within the next few years if only to pass on my pension to some deserving female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advise the pension authorities of the divorce so the ex cannot claim, if there is more to do they will let you know. Including the fees.

Rinrada Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Just for your record get the Thai Divorce paper translated into English. Usually the other way round. I have a couple framed on the wall...not mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take all the relevant info. Divorce papers. the form tells you. If the British Embassy accepts it, you are free to marry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
