windosill Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hi, I've had sole custody of my son (half-Thai) for 2 years and my Filipino wife wishes to adopt him. We are currently working in Qatar and plan on staying here for a few more years at least. Where do I start? Do I need permission from my ex-wife as I have sole custody?

Mario2008 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yes, you still need permission. But if she dosn't agree, a judge can give permission instead. I believe this will be a case for the Thai aurhorithies, as the child is a Thai national and brn in Thailand. But maybe it could be done under the laws of your own country, in which case I suspect the girls mother MUST agree to an adoption. But this is a bit complicated and needs expert advise on how and where to proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
