macb Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Whilst I am researching the above on the internet I would appreciate and interested on any input from other Farangs that have gone through this process . I will be contacting a lawyer. Please pm me. I was told to leave 15 months ago, as the lady at the time told me to consider leaving as I was not needed and deemed to be boring. So as I was unhappy I left and have never returned. Now I seek a clean break to get my life in order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Getting divorced in Thailand can be very easy, if both of you agree. Then it is simply visiting the amphur and signing the register stating that you are divorced. You can also come to any agreements and have them registered when you divorce. This is the easy way. If you cannot come to an agreement you will have to go to court. Then you can only get a divorce on certain grounds. if you are on an extension of stay, when you no longer live with your wife you lose your permission to stay and have to leave the country.

Mario2008 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 A good site is isaanlawyers. They have some interesting articles on this, including the law translated in English. http://www.isaanlawyers.com/information.html Just choose familylaw.

astral Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I am on a retirement visa. A good reason for choosing this option over the marriage extension, if you are old enough and have the funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdechgan Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 When at teh amphur. On the back of teh divorce papers there will be space to write on or clauses. This space is to write any cluases like who get the house, who get the car, the settlement, the assets. Make sure the clauses are written so that there will be no problems in the future. If everything is amicable write down the clause "no assets to share". A Thai lawyer can do this for you for a small fee. Make sure you tell the lawyers all the assets and what you want and don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
