Btechrc Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) I am married to a thai woman for almost 8 years here in thailand, but recently the things together has getting worst in so many ways that we cannot longer keep support or see each other and i want to divorce. (nothing about unfaithful or other person in between each other or both sides) At the time we fill for divorce, do we have to split our goods ? (specially money, car selling, etc) The money that we made during the time being together each other, has to divide or just keep all for my wife ? nothing for me ? If the money has being administrate under her name, i cannot have any chance to get back part of that money ? yes or not. Anytime soon the divorce will commit how much time i have to remain in thailand ? actually i have Non O Visa. (Renewed every year) Any advice, please help.... (phone number, lawyer, advice, etc).

Sheryl Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Assets acquired during the marriage (money, property) are by law divided 50/50. You'll have to explain what you mean by "If the money has being administrate under her name" though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEVUP Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm not sure about the knowledgable bit Ah I see Sheryl has answered Ok I will keep simple As mentioned by Sheryl - Anything aquired during marriage is 50/50 If you bought everything for wife prior to marriage it will be classed as hers & hers only I see you may have have bought her a business & she earnt a reasonable income from that or she is gainfully employed - as mentioned I guess all income (cash ) would need to be declared (I would say only savings ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btechrc Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 i was meaning to say, i allowed her to put everything on her name during married time, banks account, purchases, expenses, all, nothing on my name, maybe smart from her side from the very beginning she propose that and foolish or stupid from my side to accept all because i believed her and i am not the kind of person who like to fight and solve in the peaceful way or clear legal way, We officially married back in 2011, in an goverment office.

Ok doesn't sound to bad So I take it the house / car / ect was bought during marriage - then it's 50/50 Purchases / expenses may be classed as every day living ( pending ) It would be best to solve this outside of a court But would she have the funds to buy you out or would the need be to go through the courts & force a sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btechrc Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 there is no chance she can argue something or refuse to split the money 50/50 ? does she can get any strong support from thai law or immigration and kick me out with empty pockets and perhaps from the country also ?

Well that's another story It may depend on how peed she is & how far she is willing to go But the old saying is you better have the evidence to back it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 she cannot get any "strong support from immigration" to kick you out but if your extension of stay is based on marriage to a Thai, that will be voided after the divorce (automatic, not because she wants it) and you will have to find other means if you wish to stay in the country e.g. extension of stay for purpose of retirement if you qualify etc. As far as getting "strong support from Thai law", as explained under Thai law everything acquired after the marriage is split 50/50. To get around this she would have to somehow claim the asset was hers from before the marriage. Hope you have clear records. The big problem is not so much what the law will say as getting it enforced. If she makes off with all the money (which it sounds like is in her name alone, so easy for her to do), or other asset, getting it back will be difficult to impossible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btechrc Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Dear Sheryl, i am very clear to understand my legal status will be void inmediatelly after the divorce, but i suppose this cannot be done (void) on the process of divorce, or is it ? actually i have to check my stay every 90 days and every year we have to show our face and commitment on immigration with probes as the law requires. There is any way she can deny to go to immigration with me (one year register) trying to screwed my stay in thailand ? (because actually at the end of this month we suppose have to go together to inmigration, for one year register and extension of non O visa. Before on keep in going i am truly appreciate your advice and following of my case, Sheryl, like i said before, i am a peaceful man and i never ever imagine i will reach this point with my wife, since i came to live in thailand. Just couples of questions more. What you mean to say "hope i have clear records" ? What means if right now everything is in her name alone?

Sheryl Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I mean clear records showing the assets were acquired after marriage.Your existing extension of stay is not invalidated until you are divorced. However if you are near the end of it (date currently in your passport) she can certainly prevent you from getting another year, all she has to do is refuse to go with you to immigration etc.Sent from my SM-J701F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Theory Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 If the situation between you 2 is not friendly, perhaps the cash money already is out of your hand and in this case how are you going to handle the cost of divorce if you have any plan to fight back. You better get ready for worst case scenario to prevent any surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better get ready for worst case scenario to prevent any surprise. friendly or not, i guess the law is the law in thailand or anywhere in the world where this kind of situation can solve in the legal way. I am totally straight on this country i never broke any rule, perhaps that can help me or support me to get everything done if she want to find tricky ways or dirty arguments i have proves that can clear all in the name of true with a good lawyer, off course lets see what happend. Thanks for your advice of worst case scenario, by the way. RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably it seen murky at first sight, as you said, but when you sleep with a person who supposed be your partner for forever with a knife on her back is not a good sign, Do you think that knife is to protect me from predators who approach to me on any way when she really never explain what is the purpose of that knife ?
