Another Mug

I thought I wouldgive you another update.

Trawling through the internet today when a google search found the details of my house that my wife has put up for sale, together with all the contents that I purchased.

I was going to walk away and start again, but there is a certain amount of pride here.

What do you think?

I think it's time to file for divorce. Since the house was aquired after you married, the court should award you 50% of any sale price, regardless that the house in in your wifes name. If she sells it before you file, you'll then have to go to court to try to get your share, which will have likely disappeared mysteriously. Good Luck.

I would say the same thing. I have had cause to use the courts and they were extremely fair PROVIDING you have a case in law (as you would, I hope, expect, but it is Thailand, I was still pleasantly surprised)

Completely unrelated to your matter, but it was a Thai, and we got the money. The court set it out so he could not do a runner/ not pay or whatever. If he did not pay within 28 days the court said they would issue an order to seize his car and some land. AND, we then had to deal with our scumbag lawyer who tried to fleece us too over his fees, for what pathetic amount he did, we won that too!

A divorce at least gets the law on your side and working for you. Do it tomorrow. Providing you have not got other assets in Thailand of any value of course, don't forget its 50% of joint assets

Good luck whatever you decide

It seems your options are (1) talk to your wife and work out some kind of settlement over the house and have an amicable divorce protecting your other assets or (2) have a contested divorce and subject all assets to a court imposed split. Working out some kind of settlement may mean you giving up the house entirely and walking away. Based on what you've told us, staying together doesn't seem like a viable option.

Not knowing all the facts of your and your wife's situation plus how she might react to your actions, I don't see how anyone here can really tell you what you should do. Just do what your gut feeling is, prepare for the worst and hope for the best or something acceptable.

Good luck to you. Life does go on after something as traumatic and bitter as this, and in fact, life can turn out much better after sorting out such problems and ridding yourself of a troublesome person.

Once a hooker, always a hooker.

Not from me but from Robert De Niro to Sharon Stone in Casino, but a spot on summary of your predicament buddy.

Following this thread can I safely assume, none-withstanding a hooker or not a hooker, that land, house and car in the name of my lady and something goes wrong and there is no pre-nuptial agreement, my hard earned cash is practically already busted if my lovely does not consent and is not willing to share after a legal (registered) marriage?

Is it possible to correct such a situation after marriage and what are the steps to be taken? I am glad it is not me, but I know of two guys who head over heels in love did something not the way it should have been done and have now second thoughts.

I did not want to open a new thread, but a few answers would still be welcome. Thank you.

Even with prenuptial in place I doubt your friends will be protected.

If the shit hits the fan ( as it unfortunately does in many such cases), and they decide to go to court, it will always be a case of a Thai national against a farang in a Thai court. Guess who always wins in such a situation ?

This tells me you're a newbie to Thailand; probably don't even live here. The problem isn't winning in court; it's collecting.

A newbie with 15 years in Thailand... Wrong arrogant guess.

Okay I'm wrong; you only come across as a newbie with your foolish posts about the Thai court system.

Guess you're just a slow learner.

I'd like to hear from ANYONE who walked away from a marriage to a Thai lady with anything other than their clothes. No I heard or I knew a guy stories. Only first hand stories from good friends or yourself. Has anyone EVER gotten anything fro a non amicable divorce? I have been around Thailand for a lot of years and know of NO reasonable settlements.
