Pink Mist Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 If you were legally married in Thailand, then this marriage is considered legal and binding in other countries, therefore you can get a divorce using the instrument in your country of domicile. The question is how easy is it to do? In Australia you must be separted legally for one year then apply through the family court. In LOS the process, I have been led to believe is much easier, just the reverse of the registration at Amphur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up2U Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 In Thailand, if it is by mutual consent, with all property rights agreed, thenone just pays a visit to the Amphur with one's intended 'ex' and process the papers. However a contested divorce is just as painful as elsewhere. With regard to location - although not being an expert on this matter (only been through two divorces) I would suggest that as the legal marriage in Thailand is almost universally recognised, then a divorce in any of those places that recognise the marriage would be sufficient for Thai purposes. Again, there will be a difference between contetsted and amicable divorces, wherever the event takes place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Mist Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 The main point is if the marriage is recognised in that country then the divorce can happen there. My second marriage was to a southpacific soapdodger, we were married in Oz and the divorce happened over in her neck of the woods, the reason we did that is because it was so much easier and quicker than Oz, no decree nisi and absolutes there, just a paper saying the marriage is no more.

regpye Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Before you can apply to divorce in AU, the marriage must be more than 18 months old. You can't just get married and un-married again so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
