bfc1980 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 It's possible my wife and I will break up soon and look to divorce. We both live and work in Thailand and have done for at least 5 years. We were married in her home EU country and I am from a different EU country. Is it possible to get divorced here or must it be done in the EU? Also, if a divorce happens here, would it also include the issue of custody arrangements and payments to help support the children (she is on a very good salary circa 100,000 a month plus benefits, as am I) monthly essential household bills are no more than 55,000 a month so she could easily support herself without too much financial support from myself. So is it possible to get divorced here? How expensive would it be as she will probably contest it here for reason that I don't want to say here.

Preacher Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 You can divorce in Thailand, provided that the marriage is also registered in Thailand at the local amphur. Getting the marriage registered might be some what problematic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfc1980 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Ok thanks for your informative answer. The marriage was never registered here as I guess there was no need when we first arrived. There's no chance of her wanting to register it here now since the courts in her home country would be much more favourable to her in terms of custody arrangements and payments. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgMech Cowboy Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Good Luck. I hope it all works out to both of your wishes. Breaking up is difficult on the parents and the children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
