Can this be grounds to be declared divorced in thailand

[Rc2702]

My Mrs is still recognised as married to a foreigner in thailand as there marriage was registered here.

 

Problem is they got divorced in Japan and guy sent wrong docs to her and she cannot present these to be declared divorced in thailand. The guy also will not play ball amd this has been over 3 years

 

Is there not a way we can petition the courts to recognise her as divorced/free to marry since thry have not even spoke in over 3 years?

Contested divorce grounds that are applicable inThailand where your partner can solely petition the court for judgement.

1. a 3-year period of separation
2. One spouse has deserted the other for over one year

Maybe Ms would better cover all bases since she's not officially divorced.

Why can't she contact the office in Japan where she got her divorce and get them to send a copy of the divorce certificate to her or maybe she can do that through the Japanese Embassy. She maybe able to get a declaration from the Japanese Embassy stating that she is free to marry as her divorce was in Japan

If not recognized in Thailand by an sor sor 22 documente, it never has been recognized in Thailand.

If either party can't file for divorce for abandonment , will take two years for application at the Amphor.,

Both agree , five minutes at the Amphur.

In either case I would recommend to wait two years to lapse before she marries again.

Off topic somewhat but why get married?

Some people like the stability of having the same person in their life day and night and not flit around go go bars and brothels for the female or male (ladyboy) companionship. Some people like the security of having the love and affection of one person and not the false love and affection that they get from the bar girls and prostitutes that give their false love to anyone that will pay them. This applies not only in Thailand but in any country in the world.

Thailand is no different to any other country, you have your good marriages and you have your bad marriages.

Being in love doesn't come from a piece of paper.   Not getting married doesn't mean a person uses bargirls or can't monogamous.

No you cannot do that. It is very difficult to do this in japan which is why we are looking at other options

Responsibilities, assets, business, children, security should one pass in an untimely manner.  Just a few reasons to get married and make life easier in the event of.

 

Besides the obvious.

Hi PS, how could we confirm if such a document exists? I am assuming it does as we had issues with our sons surname but we solved it but they stated on their system she is classed  as married.

I won't indulge in the usual bashing saying their weather reports are useless etc. etc......after all if there was frost and an unheard cold spell this winter, in could be possible that some more records could be broken this summer in Thailand.

 

The weather and the planet are loosing equilibrium. About time for some fools to understand that climate change is not an invention comming from China or Russia!

 

I would take the OP's advice and consider to get the aircon revised, see that those tinted glass windows are in good shape, have some good stocks of water [and booze mixers] in the storage area, get the pool and the pumps checked and have enough high protection "La Roche Posay" sun block antiUV creams from Europe which IMHO are the best. Also make sure to have enough straw hats and caps, that the garden fans are working and everything will be fine to enjoy a great summer with good food, good booze and amazing chicks in the pool

Good excuse to put off marriage for at least that length of time. After 2 years one should know if one still wants to get married.

"Love, whatever that is". ( as a famous person once said ) Didn't work out very well for him, either.

If she was legaly divorced in Japan she is legaly divorced here.  The problem is the documentation.  It is probably worth checking the ID card.  If it says Mrs she was recognised as married here.

Anyone can apply to the court to divorce here after 2 years but as she is already divorced she cannot.

The problem is getting the Ampur to recognise the documents if they have already recorded her as married.  If not she should be able to get married.
