Divorce, not what you think.

[Aussie999]

I have been going with a thai lady, for a few years, she wants to marry me, I am not against the idea, but, her husband will not give her a divorce, does anyone know what her options are... Please, no other comments, except those that address what is asked, I am fully aware of the type of snide remarks that we get on these forums.

First seek a consultation with a local Thai lawyer familiuar with the family court.  Divorce litigation can be slow but not too expensive.

I could have used an Insanity clause for my first marriage in Australia!

I had one GF in USA, that actually was certified mentally unstable.  And used as an excuse so she could scam bennies, and not work.  It wasn't that far from the truth though, but she could have easily been employed.  She got free housing, food, medical as extras on her Soc Sec, that she was drawing from her husband, who committed suicide.  

 

After living with her for a few, I understood why he off'd himself

Really, not too expensive? An acquaintance in my village told me after his divorce that lawyers are expensive. I'm going to see on next week. I guess I'll soon find out...

Often money can clear problems in Thailand.

You do not need a lawyer---or pay him off--  if they have been apart more then 3 years, she can file---if they haven't , why not wait it out, still live together.
