h90 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I wish my girlfriends would give me those kind of ultimatums. or the opposite one: Give me 200K and I don't bother you anymore....That would be a good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottocus Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Watch yourself. If you don't pay then she will be pissed. Who knows what will happen. Make sure you get your kid and then get outta there. You don't wanna get hurt or even worse, have her hurt your kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss1960 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 at least you should tell whether you are living with her or whether you live in a long-distance relationship, whether you are married to her (seems not if you write about girlfriend) and finally whether you are the legal (documented) father of the child... only then your options can be reviewed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkshire Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 To answer the OP's question, NO, it's not the norm out here. Your GF is a psycho. Which doesn't reflect very well on you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinclapham Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Something very similar happened to a guy I know in BKK and he did come to some sort of financial arrangement and kept the child. For me the very idea of buying your own child is abhorrent but probably cheaper than getting lawyers, courts involved. I would insist on full custody done legally before parting with any cash, a letter of authorisation from the Mother giving permission for the child to leave Thailand and as when is necessary and ensure he has his own western passport. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PattayaParent Posted April 19, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2012 Give her the bus fare home and tell her not to let the door hit her in the arse on the way out. Then go to Soi Cowboy and find a replacement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 To answer the OP's question, NO, it's not the norm out here. Your GF is a psycho. Which doesn't reflect very well on you. I take back what I said--perhaps the girl is not a complete psycho. This sounds like "child support negotiations," Thai-peasant-farmgirl-style. Maybe the girl is afraid Mr. Shanshan is going to do a runner and she will never see a dime of child support payments. But like someone said earlier, not enough info. Are we assuming that break-up is imminent? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meom Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 There's probably more to this story. How much was the OP paying before he got hit with the ultimatum or did he just knock-up his GF and left her to take care herself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJohnnyBKK Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Assuming this is genuine: Do you actually want to take full responsibility for raising the child? Were you married to the mother on or before the date of your child's birth? If not, did you get yourself registered as the legal father? (not talking about your name on the BC) If no to both, then you have no rights legally, or at least buying such rights without her cooperation would be very difficult expensive and most likely ethically questionable. Do you plan to remain in Thailand? Many many more details like this need to be clarified before relevant advice can be given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuturatica Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Best bet is to stop impregnating psycho ladies... If this is genuine then barter with her if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommoPhysicist Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 As she is a girlfriend, in Thailand you have no rights over the child anyway (unless you have already jumped through many hoops). You can't keep what was never yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
