What the courts actually need........

 

Evidence of risk or harm: This could include threatening messages, medical reports, witness testimony, or a history of police involvement.

•  Safeguarding assessments: In family cases, the court often relies on reports from Cafcass (Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service) to assess risk to children.

•  Fact-finding hearings: If allegations are disputed, the court may hold a hearing to determine whether abuse or harassment occurred.

•  Proportionality review: Judges weigh the seriousness of the allegations against the impact of the order—especially if it affects parental contact or freedom of movement.

 

 

They are not just doled out on the claims of a partner.

I'm not so sure , particularly in Australia 

I heard that police in Australia can arrest the domestic violence offender without the statement of the other partner .

And they can take out a DVO domestic violence order on behalf of the partner without any statements 

In NSW state anyway ,I may be wrong

Not required in the UK.

Police need real proof

 

The number one thing to remember when going through a divorce is this.........

 

Don't get mad, don't angry, don't get upset....... GET HAPPY.

In Australia, proof of domestic violence must be credible, specific, and ideally corroborated.

 

Courts assess not just isolated incidents but patterns of behaviour that cause harm, fear, or control

You can sue police for false arrest if they make it up

I was going to add....easier said than done.

 

Mind games initially I guess, calm yourself down......then introspection......what is going to (or what do you think is going to) make you happy?

 

I knew I wanted to get back into a relationship eventually, but knew that was never going to happen meeting someone in the UK.......and that's when Thailand kicked in.

 

It was a hard slog still....took me 15 years, but I finally find the one.....5555

I don't understand why any person would not get a pre nup. 

 

In some countries like the UK, pre-nups are NOT legally binding and judges for the most part choose not to recognize them.

I did and received 7000 pounds compensation, but 18 months later so not much use.

And when I asked why they weren't more careful,their answer was, most people don't have the time, money or ability to get compensation, so it's easier just to arrest, jail, and probably get away with it.

 

Not to mention, during the process they will go out of their way to charge you and convict you with any crime they can invent, in order to make your case go away. I had to move to Thailand on the advice of my brief, during the process, to avoid all their efforts to fit me up, or make me unemployable.

Incorrect.

 

 

In the UK pre-nups ARE valid..............................but they are not automatically enforceable. 

 

 

There is a difference

It should be like this:

No, prenuptial agreements are not automatically legally binding in the UK, but courts will give them weight if they are entered into freely, with full understanding, and without unfairness. A landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2010 allows courts to consider these agreements, though the final decision on fairness and enforceability rests with the judge on a case-by-case basis.

If you have other law-binding information, please show it here.

 I got a divorce at 9.5 years of marriage while serving in the Air Force in the USA as my wife was trying to delay the process over 10 years marriage where military divorce after 10 years can be complex due to the specific rules governing military benefits and retirement pay and I would have lost 50% of my then current/retirement pay to her. Lucky and Blessed.

Is your friend psychic?  What made him suspect, from Australia, that you were not ok in your Jomtien hotel?

Please tell me if you ever got divorced and is it ok to only get 50/50 

I would like to hear sad stories

I got nothing in my first divorce but I was deliriously happy about it.

I like the Thai way of divorce - assets held by each party before marriage are regarded as private and not taken into account in any settlement . Don`t get married in the UK - it`s financial suicide for anyone with assets and a partner who doesn`t have any .

I knew an ex binman ( sorry , waste management executive ) who was loaded - lovely big house in it`s own grounds and a Merc sports in the driveway . Turns out he lost his arm in an accident at work and got a huge payout from the council .

The only winners in divorce are the lawyers. I was OK with 50/50 split but ex would not even agree to anything. Had to go to court (twice). Anyway, after 2 years, and £60,000 in legal fees, all was done. Luckily I managed to retain in value 50% of UK family home and 50% of Bangkok condo and 50% of land in southern Thailand. I gave up my share in a business so got 100% of the Bangkok condo which I retain today. Only complaint is the £60k wasted in legal fees.

What did you do to end up in this situation?

Let's pray that the OP's friend does not come to Pattaya, meet a cunning bar girl who will plunder him of what's left of his 50%. 

 

No wonder people are not getting married as much in the west or having kids, as before. The leftist woke feminist dogmas are plainly destroying the social balance and stability in the West. But then most of us know that...
