Married couple, both farangs. Marriage is registered in the home country. Having business in Thailand. At the moment only husband has a work permit. Question: how the business would be divided in a case of divorce? Is it mandatory for a wife to have a work permit in case of dividing the business? Thanks beforehand.

How successful is the business?  Can it be easily replicated by either partner?   Why not just get divorced and keep the business running with one of you relegated to just a shareholder (thereby getting a share of any profits) and the other being the Director and running the business.

 

To my knowledge: Since you both are foreigners and not married in Thailand, and the marriage not registered in Thailand, it's not a case about Thai law, but rather how it works in your home country. With that decision in hand, it might continue as civil case in a Thai court; if for example the business ownership should be split 50/50 according to the foreign divorce procedure, and one part don't agree.
