Yes It does. It involves a question which may have many parallels for many expats over here. If you are not intelligent enough to decide if a subject is not worth reading from the first post then you really should not be complaining to the Mods. You must waste a lot of your time on these threads.

What is amazing is that a thread obviously asking about violating the law has been allowed to go on this long!

Show us where the OP is "violating" the law?

PTL, you will never be a moderator.

"I am liable.."

"I want to get awat with it..."

Courts...

The OP is not violating the law (yet) but is asking for advice on how to do so...

JD,

learn how to "live and let live".

You're like a puppy with a rag doll.

Lighten up!

As they say, 'Tax avoidance is legal, Tax evasion is Illegal', they both have the same result. Cut the OP some slack, he asked a question, interested parties only should answer, if the subject is not your cup of tea, stay out. If you were a Mod you would have had this one closed and deleted by now eh! It would be a dry old site.

...I don't quite understand why the divorce settlement ordered a payment 10 years in the future...

Maybe it was to give you 10 years to save up 10,000 pounds. That's 1,000 pounds per year - about 160 baht per day (2 bar beers).

Be thankful the baht is so strong - you can get a pound for about 50 baht now - used to be 70 baht.

Actually, given the forum rules, Jd is quite correct.

By using this service you agree;

1) You will not use thaivisa.com to post any material which is knowingly or can be reasonably construed as.......otherwise in violation of any law.

So, lets do try to keep it within the bounds of legality. Although I must say, this post smells of troll to me, but given its the holidays, I suppose the OP should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Funny That!!! And I was under the impression that he was asking advice on how to go about this matter 'within' the Law, which he can.

So my question is can i live in Thailand and get away without paying her next year the 10,000 GBP. my lovely Thai wife and me cant afford to pay it back anyway, give me sensible advise only PLEASE

Well, if we are to assume that by "sensible" the OP also means "legal" then perhaps you are correct, joskydive, but I do not see anything in the OP asking for specifically legal means.

Yes, I did assume that 'sensible' mean't 'legal' as I can not see anything sensible in doing something illegal. Likewise, I also didn't see anything in the OP's question asking specifically for illegal means either otherwise I would have chosen not to reply.

There is absolutely no reason why everybody should be getting a hard-on about this thread. The OP has asked if there is anyway he can get out of paying 10K.. A perfectly reasonable question. He clearly wants to do it legally if possible, that is why he has asked on a public forum. As I said on a very recent reply, if for example you want to pay the Tax man in the UK 10K a year less, then it is possible that you could do, and it would be very legal to do so if you find out how. The trouble is that not many people know how, and they just evade paying tax rather than finding out how 'not to'. The latter is legal, the other option can put you in jail. I am convinced that there will be a perfectly legite way for the OP not to pay this money, and I am also convinced that out of 60 odd thousand members somebody has the knowledge, and I also look forward to reading it.

Gotta love it...... :D :D :jerk:

[galowgala]

but the agreement was i have to pay here 10,000 GBP in the year 2010.

i have to say , reading your post , that you come across as a serial loser , but putting my prejudices and assumptions aside for a minute , the fact is you made an agreement , so , stop moving the goalposts , stop your silly whinging , face up to the responsibilities you set up , be a man , do the right thing and pay up.

my lovely Thai wife and me

that should be "my lovely thai wife and i"

what a silly PRK U R

JD, you should know better, than to make a statement like that without the full story.

[taxexile]

what a silly PRK U R

who's the prick ? you're the one trying to wheedle out of a (legal?) contract because it doesnt suit you now , stop being a pathetic whinger , and either pay up or contest it in court.

[torrenova]

Whilst I find it hard to understand why for a sum as small as £10,000 there should be a waiting period of 10 years with no interim payments as opposed to say, a percentage of a business to be sold within 10 years etc. I will work from the premise that this is correct.

So there is a court order to pay this in 2010. Well, if the OP does nothing, his ex wife will have to judge whether to go back to court and seek legal redress. Even if she knows where the OP is, I doubt if she has his correct address and thus, he is realistically non existent. If lines of communication are open, then she can deliver documents to be served on him at his address.

Even if relations are not too strained, I would open a dialogue only if and when she mentions the £10,000. She may have forgotten about it or written it off. Do not remind her. If raised, then I would say that I have not been able to put aside what I thought I would be able to and I don't think I will be able to pay it at all.

Perhaps though the OP could enlighten us as to why only now, in the 8th or 9th year from 10, he suddenly discovers he is unable to pay the money owed ?

[nickbk]

If you want to do it the "legal" way. You can wait until 2010, then go to the court in UK and try to break that judgement in view of your new situation: New familly, lower income. If your ex has a correct situation and admitting that there are no children in between (you mentioned none), it has a good chance to work.

You could even start doing it now to show that you have no intention of "forgetting" it.

If you just "forget" it, and your ex gets a court order, you might have trouble renewing your passport whenever it ends.

[capco1]

Simple solution....Move to Pattaya, rent a room on the 10th floor, tell her she needs to come and pick up her money in person.......Can you say swan dive?

[Kf6vci]

What's the basis of this GBP 10,000 after 10 years - a settlement agreement?

[Jimjim]

Probably you could get away with it. That is, if you never want to go back to England. Passport renewal may or may not be a problem. In the U.S., they just made it law if you are behind on child support payments that you cannnot renew or get a new passport unless you pay up.
