radiola Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 If I get married and then after few years get divorced from thai wife, will she be entitled to my house in europe, that I got from my parents? Does she have rights to come to europe court and claim half of the house even if i got the house before marriage. Same goes for condo. I am buying a condo in europe, and living here from rent. Is she entitled to half of my condo? Did this happen to any of you? I guess I am marrying in 30 years ha ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedObserver Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 When the marriage is registered in Thailand your wife is entitled to 50% of the marital assets upon divorce. That's half of all property acquired during marriage only. Enforcement in Europe would depend on the courts there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 No, you split half of what is acquired during the marriage. What both of you had before the marriage is left out of a divorce settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabeachbum Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 No, you split half of what is acquired during the marriage. What both of you had before the marriage is left out of a divorce settlement. assets in TH yes assets outside TH, depends on which euro country marriage is registered, but in all Scandinavian countries she is entitled to 50% of all assets outside TH unless a prenup is entered and made valid in that country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the european courts then still split the european assets 50/50?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiola Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 so in austria you would have to give her all property you have there 50% god dam_n, I am never getting married this is really unfair i dont even know if prenup exists in my country?

Not for a Thailand registered marriage and divorce, it's 50% of Thai assets acquired during the Thai marriage. European assets can only be divided by a court with jurisdiction in, for example, Austria.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiola Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 so if you buy a condo in bkk before getting married you are safe? Is that 100 % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedObserver Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 so if you buy a condo in bkk before getting married you are safe? Is that 100 % YES and to be doubly safe add a prenuptial agreement at the time you register your marriage in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 so if you buy a condo in bkk before getting married you are safe? Is that 100 % YES and to be doubly safe add a prenuptial agreement at the time you register your marriage in Thailand. A Thai prenup could go even further and protect you against splitting the value of a condo you acquired from your own money after the marriage. At least - that's the theory. I'll let you know if it works if I ever get divorced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know if it works if I ever get divorced that is one extremely thin theory and would be a hard fight in court If you own a condo when you marry, I would not complicate it with a Thai registered prenup, as faults can enter prenup making you weaker If you own a co ltd when you marry, make sure the one you marry has never been involved in co ltd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
