DennyBoi47 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I am an Australian who married a Thai girl in Bangkok in 2015. I have not seen her since 2017 and I need to divorce her as I plan on remarrying next year. I do not have any paperwork related to my marriage and I also do not have any way of contacting her. Does anybody have any advice on what I need to do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Yes, I am going to guess you need to contact her.. Maybe try a village wedding next time? No papers etc... You must know at least a little bit about her - where she worked, lived or the village she came from?? Start tracking her down... Sorry, I can really only answer with questions, but it is a bit difficult to imagine, assuming some element of sobriety...

DILLIGAD Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Your only option, as I see it is to go see a lawyer over here and get them to sort out your situation. Assuming that you were LEGALLY married over here, you need an original copy (or 2) of your flowery marriage cert. Maybe the same office where you got the original, might be able to produce a duplicate??????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 You need the help of a local lawyer to go to where you have registered your marriage and find out who and what are the woman's contact details such place of birth, family and relatives and try to trace from there, PM me if you need a referral to a person who can help... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody have any advice on what I need to do? Step 1: If you married the woman legally, at a district office, you needed to get a certificate of freedom to marry from your embassy and submit it to the district office. Check with the Australian embassy in Bangkok if they have a record of of having issued this document to you in 2015. P.S. On https://thailand.embassy.gov.au/bkok/Notarial_Services.html, I see that the Australian embassy calls this document Certificate of no Impediment.

Peterw42 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 OP, are you in Thailand ? If so, go to the office were you got married. They should have all details. I believe after a certain time has elapsed and the other party cannot be contacted,, one party can do the divorce without the other party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puccini Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 After getting married, did you apply for a one-year extension of stay for the reason of being married to a Thai national? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the scarcity of details in the opening post of this topic, I suspect that DennyBoi47 does not remember the name or the location of the place where he thinks he got married in Bangkok in 2015. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done in a drunken stupor? Can not be done that way. You spend at least a good few hours in the Amphur with all of your documents that were translated from English into Thai, such as the affidavit of freedom to marry. He should remember getting those documents and possibly where he was married in Bangkok. Did the wife take his name? Lots left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a minute, have we all jumped to conclusions here and assumed he got legally married ? Perhaps he didn't and it was one of those make believe village ones. Many Thais have these, go around saying they have a husband/wife and then go off with somebody else later. Obviously not being a legal marriage then there is nothing for the OP to worry about because he was never married to that Thai person in the first place.

Popular Post CharlieH Posted May 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2021 The OP is not legally married, of that I am certain. There is no way he would have no knowledge of a "proper" official marriage. The affirmation from the Embassy ? The legalisation and translation of documents ? and various other aspects ALL IN ONE DAY with no prior appointments or organisation, sorry, not buying it, to say nothing of witnesses etc. IF and its a big IF then at best it was a local village marriage which requires only his presence and means nothing in law or reality. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
