Hello,

My Name is Greg , I'm a US Citizen. I have a simple question. I have been divorced in US and I pay child support, can I marry in Thailand?

The marriage affidavit asks if I have any dependents, is child support considered dependent? Can someone please clear this up for me.

The marriage affidavit form from US Embassy asks this on part : 5. I do not have dependents or support other persons.

I pay child support for the 2 children from my previous marriage , are they considered dependents ? Does this prevent me from marriage in Thailand ?

Can somebody please clarify this for me.

Thank You.

Greg S.

Yes you can marry, Dependants or not, children or not, child support current or not,

You can marry

Thank You for quick reply. I'm current with my child support. I would not dare skip a payment to my kids. I love my two sons. My first marriage failed (cheating wife) but I love the little guys to death and one day when they are older I plan to take them to Thailand with me. I want to do everything by the book because I want my Thai girl (wife soon to be) to come to the states with me. This is something she wants as well. I think I'm a lucky guy. Most people I read about go to Thailand to meet their girlfriends or wives. I'm different, my love came to me. My work has contract manufacturing with a company in Thailand, so she was sent over with a group of 12 Thais to train in US on our product and that is how we met. I visited her in Thailand twice and she came to states twice on her H1/B2 visa. I read some horror stories about foreign man getting married with Thai girls and the horror that follows but this is different. She is no bar girl comes from small family, has a younger brother who is married already. She is a very modest, working woman with a very good heart. I sent email to the US embassy in Bangkok to clarify this for me as well, when I get a response I'll post it here for others to learn.

Greg,
