Hi, 

 

I'm not here for judgement.  

 

My child 3 month old born in Australia is a dual citizen. Thai/aussie.

 

We come to Thailand with my husband whom was meant to "change" his ways. He is an alcoholic.  He hasn't changed at all.  When in Australia I refuse to let him get alcohol. But as soon as we come back to Thailand the first day drinking.  By drinking i mean straight whisky sometimes more than a bottle a day.  

 

I really had hope for our family for him to stop now i had a baby he loves so very much but he won't and cannot change his ways.

 

He is always out drinking with friends leaves me with baby and when he does come back his either passing out or abusing me and being rough with our baby without even realising .  It worry me so much cause have a child involved sometimes he can get violent towards me. 

 

I have resorted to secretly audio taping him yelling at me,  taking photos of him passed out in his own sick,  and I have learnt to shut my mouth completely when. His drunk or it turns ugly.

 

Don't get me wrong when he isn't drunk (rare occasion) he is the best dad and loves his baby daughter with all his heart. So much that he does threaten to take her away from me, put her on powdered milk or when she old enough to not need me I have to leave her behind. 

 

I will never ever leave my daughter for the life of me.  I am seriously Starting to want to leave Thailand with her and go home to a happy environment I want me daughter to not be around someone drunk and Angriness all the time.  I don't want to steal her but I feel like its only option now.  If I do this I still want him to come on tourist visa or even apply for a partner him.  I'm not doing this out of spite . I'm very anxious all the time I'm sick of crying and not knowing what's going to happen when he gets home. 

 

My questions are will I get in trouble for "kidnapping" my daughter if I leave to Australia???  

 

If he goes to court over this am I able to fight this in Australia? 

 

Do I even have a leg to stand on or will they insist I bring her back to Thailand?  

 

Thank you...

I vvould presume your daughter entered on an Aussie Passport as an Aussie

If not may become a problem if it's reported & you get caught at airport Immigration

A family emergency back in Auss may clarify things 

Get all in order before the dash

Whilst I appreciate that your child is dual Thai/Australian, what are you.  If you are Thai, but have permanent residency in Australia, get you and your child back there as soon as possible and worry about it then.  Helpful if you have family in Australia. Whatever you do, you MUST get away from this man, before it is too late. Good luck.

You can not leave Thailand with your child without the father's permission. The airlines and the immigration authorities are very strict about it. However, if you go to Australia with you husband and your child, you can then stay there whether your husband likes it or not. he can not take the child out of Australia without your permission. You probably can alert the Australian immigration for the possibility that your husband may try to leave the country (Australia) with the child and against your will. They will not let him. In any case, once you get to Australia with your husband and the child, you can contact the local immigration people and ask for their advice.

 

Good luck.

Hello,
Your situation is not easy.
You say that the baby is born in Australia, and that it is 3 months old, it is early for a baby to make such a long trip.
But you came to what date in Thailand. ?
Maybe suggest to your husband to leave for some time in Australia, under the pretext that the baby needs to be followed by the pediatrician who saw it at birth.
Up to you. Do it for the best.

Make a careful exit plan ... for Aussieland ... consult the Aussie Embassy --- they can advise you for counsel .... play along with hubby until all is in order ... but do not delay

CNel, without consent from your child's father, what you are suggesting is effectively kidnapping. And even if you do make it out of the country, then expect to be placed on an Interpol list if the father ever asks Thai authorities to get his daughter back.

 

My advice, don't waste your time getting advice from forums like this that are full of sympathetic ears telling you to flee with the child...... Go and see a Lawyer.  

 

Parenting is a joint responsibility. When you make poor decisions when choosing your partner, (Sorry, but that's the truth) then there is no easy solution without involving the courts to gain legal custody.

I agree with user BEVUP. If your child has entered Thailand on an Australian passport, you should probably not have any problems; however if the child has a Thai family name it might, or might not, draw an Immigration officer's attention, but a copy of Australian birth certificate – best if verified by the Australian embassy – might be a good back-up.

 

There's no overstay for a minor.

 

If your child entered on a Thai passport you might need permission from the father, i.e. an official letter issued by the Amphor, same office that issues ID-cards. Both father and mother need (to my experience and knowledge) to be present at the Amphor office.

 

Try to contact your Australian embassy for advice, as your child is born in Australia, they might have (much) better knowledge than us forum-posters. Wish the best for your child and you...:smile:

If entered on Aussie passport I would try and leave with her quietly and discretely after that you can contact him from Australia. I do not know if this is the right way but it would be what I would do...

 

Good luck and update us on your solution...

all the people who has no life and have to type something even they dont have any clue. 

mother can leave anytime with her child to their home country, child is Australian, was born there has the passport.

I was married in a foreign country and at the divorce tme, my kids have been 1.5  y and 2.5 years and they traveled with me 100 times over a border and never ever I had to show anything else than ID or passport, even they traveled not with the same national passport like mine. 

Also in Thailand I live with 1 son, he is now 17 and he travels alone since 5 years to europe, never ever he had to show any paper at check in or imigration.

if you are not a divirced parent with expierence in this field why you do not only read and shut up instead of spreading rumors and false information here and other people will take your stupid coments as fact and refer on them when the next person ask a similar question

sometimes it is better only to shut up......

Leave Thailand NOW and never let him have visits alone with your daughter, in Australia or outside.

Be careful, DO NOT utter one word of your plans. 

From what you said, he's been threatening you to take away your daughter from you already. - LEAVE NOW.

Thailand haven't signed the Haag human rights documents, can NEVER be kidnapping if a mother is removing her child from one country that's not hers to her own and the childs. 

Wake up guys, both mother and child has Aussie passports and citizenships. The father don't, he has to apply for that in Australia.

The child having Thai passport/citizenship  is what's causing the problem.
