rootrus Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hi All, I have a question to ask. My wife child is now 8 years old, and she did not marry the child father before and after the child was born. However, the child biological father name is in the childbirth certificate. Is there a possible chance for a lawyer or a family member go to the high court and check in the record if the biological father has ever applied or registered as the father of the child? - The father is not a Thailand Citizen. - The father has not taken care of, or support of the child since the child was born. - The mother has a statutory declaration of the child.

ezzra Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 There are ways to discover any information relating to a child in Thailand best handled by a lawyer, you didn't disclosed for what purposes you need said information or records and whether a DNA test will be required in case someone is contesting fatherhood claims... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootrus Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hi Ezzra, I am applying a resident visa for my wife and her child in the overseas. The immigration request for a confirmation from the court to confirm that the father has not applied for or been registered as the father. I have been asking around a few lawyers, and they mentioned that it is possible to get a confirmation from the office where the child was born and get a signature from the court. However, i wonder if that is really possible in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in Thailand a father that is not married to the mother does not have any parental rights unless granted by court. I think what you should be looking at is a confirmation of sole custody of the mother. That should be easier to get than to search for filings for parental rights in the past 8 years, more so as the father is non Thai therefore harder to find due to no national id number and many different tranciliation possibilities 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
