Divorce before visa application

[ajb1985]

Hello,

Looking for some advice for a friend.

No really it is a friend. I’m happily married and we have a cracking 6 month together.

 

My mate married his Thai lady in The Pattaya amphoe/ registrar office.

This happened last February and he has been in uk and she’s been in Thailand ever since. She was due to apply for the settlement visa soon but they have had a big fall out.

She now wants a divorce and is demanding 500k baht.

 

What’s his next step? Can she claim anything and what’s the easiest way for him to divorce?

 

Thanks in advance.

Under Thai law she only has a claim to 50% of all the assets gained during the marriage. Assets as in gains and loses incurred, for both of them.

 

Her not cooperating means that it is more difficult to get a divorce as one can then only divorce based on the reasons stated in the law.

He doesn’t own a house in England or Thailand. He doesn’t own a car. He has no assets at all really.
Would he have to get a lawyer in Thailand?

Just ignore her. Unless he is wanting to marry another lady it's not worth the hassle of discussing it with her.

[Colabamumbai]

Ignore her for six months, mine wanted 300,000 the marriage lasted 2 months, she caved signed at Amphur she paid the 30 Baht fee.

He probably didn't bestow upon her the PhD from a western uni and the ability to speak 6 languages, as is so common amongst TV members who marry hookers

Fortunately it doesn't look like he's had time to pass on the "stupid gene"

Do nothing, she has no access to the UK.

Agreed but not an offer. Make it a set amount and don't negotiate at all. And fan all the bills out when you show it to her. Thais love that. 

[Jingjock]

Same Same old story, marriage of convenience MONEY just forget her, she has no claim in your country. Do not pay her anything at all, she just another scammer

[likeke]

Why do these foreigners marry Thai women so quickly and with no assets? Sounds like all she ever wanted to do was scam you for 500,00 baht. Oh well. Just another Thai marriage success story. Yawn.

no assets no money

toss her a rock and suggest she squeeze

[RickTik]

Why would he marry her if he wasn't going to stay by her side?

Thai women don't want to be "played".

They get enough of that in their "business" activities.

Your friend should resolve the issue in a way that is fair for both sides.

From there .... life goes on.

[Old Croc]

His best way to divorce is to hop on a plane with a stopover in the middle east, and, when there, recite the divorce call three times. 

Then continue on to England, get a job, save, and when wiser and richer, contemplate a move to a culturally diverse country.

What a negative grumpy old man you must be.

 

Thrown off the horse a long times ago and couldn't get back up, what a shame.

 

I have been happily married for almost 11 years, couldn't imagine living without my mate, and in her country, oh by the way, she was also a hooker as you refer to them.

 

Maybe you just haven't learnt how to accept, live and let live and most of all, forgive.

 

Hope you find your wife before your big day, because living in negativity and hurt, is not a way a lot of us would want to go out, one life, live it, and love, love, love, don't be afraid, its sooooooooooooooooo good to be in love, and to be loved 555

 

There are many western men here on TVF who have married Thai "hookers" as you refer to them, and are as happy as me, the problem here it appears is that you are one of those hurt, negative old timers who has no idea of the Thai system or its culture, tainting every Thai girl with the same brush and not seeking the reasons behind them doing the work they do or have done.

 

Next thing you will tell me is that selling ones body for money is a crime, wake up chum, its a world wide phenomenon, and males are the catch of the day, just depends if they know the difference between a shark and a mermaid, and how to out swim the sharks out there.

 

Good luck old son....

But only for assets in Thailand what been earned and bought after the mariage.

[Autonuaq]

Do nothing,

 

Send registered letter to her every 3 month in asking her to come and take care.

Wait 3 years and file the divorce in thai court based on not taken care by her. 

If she not decided to go to the amphur with you and registered the divorces

 

she locked herself up with the marriage.

And the guy who she is with the friend can also claim compensation for financial losses your friend has due to his involvement with a married woman who wants to divorce.

Section about this you can find back in the thai law for th a bt hidden so foreigner can not find easy

10k and an independent contractor.  Problem solved and still have 490k.

The most convenient way is to get a divorce in "mutual agreement", just go the the Amphur and pay the fee.

Another possible way is (as mentioned by another TV-member) doing nothing, leave it as it is...but don't buy property or assets because still being married she could claim 50/50 whenever it comes to divorce.  Of course neither of you can marry another person.

The most complicated way is getting a divorce by appealing a lawyer's interaction; many shark-lawyers will demand a high fee and often "collaborate" with the wife (even those who were advertising on TV)...  There are exceptions...
