Before we can advise you we would need further information. For example. Did you get married to hubby no 1 in Thailand or back home? Did you go to the Amphur and register the wedding? Was your wedding registered back home?

** IF ** you got married in thailand and registered it in the Amphur then you need to take both copies of your marriage certificate along with your first husband to the Amphur and providing that both of you are in absolute agreement about the divorce and that no-one is making any disputed claims for 50% ownership of assets or money then it should take no more than 15 minutes. If you didn't register it at the amphur but just did the village ceremony then you were not married 'legally'.

Cas is right and the other bonus is that it costs only 20 Baht I believe

I'd suggest you get some legal advice, I use Tilleke and Gibbins for all my legal stuff.

Issues additional to the mechanics of divorce are:

Getting full custody for your child.

Getting citizenship and passports for your child

Getting perental permission to travel for your child (Do not assume you have this).

I'd sort all these 'Child related things out' now before you loose total contact with the father. Doing so years down the line might be extremely difficult.

You didn't mention nationality of your current partner as it may have an impact on G's input

Guest House,

I think the child is fathered by current partner, not husband. Not very easy to have a 6 week old child by someone you haven't seen for 14 months...

hi ,yes went to the ampur,wasnt registered in the uk thou,can i do it any ampur in bangkok? cant be going back to nan!

new boy is thai too!

thanks for all your help!

If you are both happy to divorce then take your id documents (him id card, you passport), marriage certs & go to any Amphur & they should be able to do it. You both have to go though to state that you are both happy with the divorce & no splitting of property/financial payment is expected.

thankyou very much for the help !

i now have a huge prob,i never changed my name to his ! the amphur says i must change it to his before gettin divorced,does this mean a new passport,then another when i change it back!

thanks
