Quick divorce

[Richard1989]

I have been married to a Thai girl for 6 weeks but have only been with her in Thailand for two weeks after our marriage. I now think I may have made a big mistake. Will I be able to get a quick divorce as we spent so little time together and only been married for a brief amount of time.

You married 6 weeks ago but have been in Thailand 2 weeks? Where did you get married? Need more facts my man.

I got married at Bang arak in Bangkok

If the divorce is by mutual consent, then it's pretty easy. Both parties must go together to the amphur and sign off on the divorce. Pretty simple.

I am quite sure that she will not agree. I was wondering if there is anything I can do because of the very short time that we have been together after we got married and the fact that I have only been married for 6 weeks.

I am curious as to why you got married in the first place ?

There were a few reasons. I found out she was giving my money to her family without my consent and all her future plans seemed to involve my money and her family but not necessarily me.

Do you know the number of a solicitor that could possibly help me.

Me too!

You've been married 6 weeks and now you want to divorce.

But only been together 2 weeks.

Don't think there is a time frame where you can cancel the marriage.

Unless both of you agree. Then it's simple.

Need more details to be honest

A marriage may be declared void or be voidable under certain specific circumstances.

More info see http://www.thailand-lawyer.com/divorce-faqs/thailand-annulment.html

This may (or may not) apply in your case ( possible fraud?), however "I've changed my mind " is not one of the reasons.

Yes a lawyer is needed,

If you have just noticed her Adams apple, then you might have grounds for a divorce !!

But I reckon you should lose at least a little of your money, for marrying someone you didn't even know

If you haven't already done so, you need to put all your money out of her reach. Once she realises she isn't getting more than the bare minimum to survive ( I assume you are giving her money for living expenses ) she ( or they when they find out they're getting nada ) may want to divorce you!

You might also want to move to a location far from her family, if you are currently living in the vicinity. Make sure you have a will that excludes her ( if that is legal ) and let her know that, but look out for a "visit": from a family member.

In the west you could get an annulment if you hadn't consumated the marriage, but I'm pickin' that wouldn't apply here.

I don't know if you can get an annulment in Thailand, but you could ask the lawyer.
