Lawyer Wanted

[selavy59]

Need a lawyer. My girlfriend wants me to have sole custody of our child (I'm named on the birth certificate and will be sorting out a British birth certificate for him and a passport).

She wants me to take him to the UK. I want this done all above board and therefore require the services of a lawyer. Anyone know of a good one in Pattaya?

Sorry not familiar with lawyers here. If she is pushing for this it should be straight forward. In an ideal world the paperwork would be lodged at the same ampour as the birth is registered.

When you do sort it out, make sure you have a copy and a translation of all the paperwork, it will make life a lot easier in the future Get the girlfriend to sign the English version too.

Good luck.

I was looking for a lawyer in regard to a land deal a little while ago and I received several recommendations for:

Kuhn Kamnod at:

http://www.thailegal.co.th

They have substantial offices on the ground floor of Pattaya Bazaar, which is on the corner of Pattaya Nua and 2nd Road.

I received free advice from them, and was very impressed.

I have no idea if they do matrimonial cases, but you could call and enquire.

Join with Mobi on this - as he is closely friendly with Paul King of Easy Visa, I would suggest he would be knowledgeable on the visa side as well.

I was under the impression that one could be a guardian of Thai-born children, but not have sole responsibility? Maybe I'm wrong on this, I've not had personal experience.
