I suggest you sober up and then get the divorce. Why you'd want to draw this out I have no idea. Find another woman who appreciates you.

Maybe she read on You-Tube how to deceive a farang?

I just looked at that thread, but either way, as long as no kids are involved the OP should celebrate that he will be rid of her soon. I know there's always an emotional investment, but I hope he will let logic dictate rather than let the emotions drag him down to a bad place. There are so many great women here. The world is his oyster again.

You need to get divorced where you got married. If you ignore her request then divorce unlikely. Not sure of any financial responsibilities you might have if getting divorced or staying married. If the relationship is over then move on and get a divorce.

Divorce her no point delaying it, move on

[KhunLA]

Divorce her now while 'she wants' to.  Doesn't get any easier or cheaper.  All of 15 minutes at amphur office.

 

Count your blessings.

Hope he had a Plan B or C, and he only invested what he could walk away from...

 

Time to get out is now.

thanks... 

l think traditionally couples were required to divorce at the same amphur where they registered their marriage but now can get the uncontested divorce in an amphur different from where the marriage is registered.

If she is deceiving you now, then that will only get worse, get the divorce ASP and try and warn the other guy what a B I T C H she is.

Ignore her unless she offers money LOL.

[DrJack54]

OP, of course you do realize that you cannot obtain extensions based on marriage even if you do not divorce.

 

Don't understand why you are even asking about not divorcing.

She has moved onto greener (more wealthy) pastures.

Give her the divorce, before she wants money.   Never complicate simple things.  Be happy it's behind you.

As there's a new foreign guy on the scene, I'd ask him to pay 250kbht for you to agree to the divorce.

Probably wants divorce to get another visa to return to other guys country

If the house was bought AFTER the signed marriage, she owes you 1/2 the money for the current value of it.

If so, you can negotiate; pay you the money or no divorce. If she wait the (3) years then go to court you still will get a judgement that she must pay 1/2 the value of it.

If NOT BEFORE THE MARRIAGE, she owes you nothing for it, and as others say on here, give her the divorce and walk away. 

She can hang around for the (3) years and get the divorce anyway in court here.

Don't find another woman and marry her. Just have a good time till you don't, then move on.

 

Fixed it for you.

 

For the OP, if you can get her to agree to an uncontested divorce get to the amphur office ASAP. If married it may affect your pension.

You have to be both present at the amphur.

If old enough he can get them based on retirement. My Non O was obtained based on marriage, but I always extended based on retirement.

 

If currently extending based on marriage probably a good idea to get one based on retirement BEFORE getting divorced.

Call it a lesson and don't do it again.

 

I lost a lot, but at least I never built her the house she wanted.
