Can my cheating Thai wife get her boyfriend a visa ?

[Basil B]

Firstly I would seek advice from a lawyer who practices in the country you will be divorcing in...

Procedures and law can differ between England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and totally different to those in North America.

However, sometimes one or the other spouse is tempted to hide assets and not disclose them. You or you partner may even panic at the prospect of a divorce and try to dispose of assets – perhaps by transferring them into the name of another or by drawing down the equity on a property and spending or transferring the proceeds.

If that happens, the courts have wide powers to ensure that there is full financial disclosure and that the assets are preserved. If one of you is found to have hidden an asset then the courts take that very seriously. The person doing it can be penalised, for example by being ordered to pay the other side’s legal costs (which can be very substantial) or by being given a less favourable settlement. The courts also have powers to prevent assets being transferred or to get them back after a transfer.

I presume the above refers to the law of England and Wales but probably also applies to the laws of Scotland and NI

I think the best thing for me to do is ride it out, there is no way we will be reconciling she has said this and i wouldnt want it, especially since she is in touch with this man still and will not stop although i have said you wont be talking to him in the house whilst im there and she has agreed to this, still some cheek of her if that was the other way round i would tell her i was sorry wouldnt even suggest i was going to carry it on just to make sure i didnt rub her nose in it, she has no feelings of sorrow what so ever, she is only sorry she got caught but she wont even admit that, she sees signs of sorrow and emotion as weak and pathetic, but i have said everyone has feelings ! even yesterday when i was at my mothers house with my daughter as she likes being round there with other members of the family and has more friends there than where we are at now , we are sitting in there having dinner whilst she is out sitting in the car waiting for us, i still felt sorry for her and her reply was dont feel sorry for me i dont care, and she used to be over my mums nearly everyday before this.

But i know soon as i move out and she gets the ball rolling the gloves will come off because she is still scorned and humilated badly, big loss of face and she dont like that, she might be saying all this now so as to get me to move out voluntary but once this has happened i would imagine i am gonna be in for a rough ride. She also doesnt like the fact with my parents and doesnt understand why everyone is treating her like a murderer when all she wanted to do is move on with her life, her words ! I honestly believe my daughter would not have a good life with her now as everything she does is around her feelings nobody elses, and she has no support network here or friends in the town so she would be isolated and my daughter would be basiclly be on her own with her, she hasnt got her interests at heart. You know if she had come back and apoligised and said it was just a holiday fling i would have forgiven her as everyone makes mistakes but she wont even do that, she obviously sees a future with this guy and like somebody else said she is keeping all her cards to her chest, whilst i am giving her little bits of info, she wouldnt even tell me what he does for a living or nothing about him her answer is we are done nothing to do with you, i knew our marriage was on the rocks before she went to thailand but i didnt know she was planning an affair with him all this time, you think marriage problems, just work through them sort things out i was even prepared to go to counseling but no way not for her. As for divorce proceedings i am told that i can drag that for a couple of years, which i will do, and as for moving out i know soon as i do that the gloves will come off and it will be court room then after but enough now i have ranted long enough... Thanks

akajack9,

I don't know the full circumstances, but why on earth are you planning to move out of the house?

Because you love her she is still making you feel sorry for her, which is playing right into her hands.

Why can't you remain with your daughter in the house.

If she wants to move on with her life, let her be the one to move out.

Start wearing the shoes and stop being the doormat.

SteveB2, you got a good list of that somewhere?

Somewhere in the Caribbean would probably be my choice... Thai would be out cause that is where this poor guy's wife is from.

I highly recommend taking all cash assets available, maybe even remortgage the home to the highest amount possible if you can't sell it, buy gold and head off into the Caribbean to start a new life. Don't worry about paying that mortgage either you'll sell it eventually or just let it default and the bank can take ownership of it.

Sell the house if possible, if not just load it up on debt, take the cash and flee. So many guys get screwed over.

Not wading through pages of advice. Divorce courts are full of Thai wives trying it on in the UK. Do not know if OP has salaried job,hard luck if he has.

The courts have clear instructions as to what happens when divorce looms,hiring a lawyer is an expensive option,can do it yourself with documentation. She probably will hire a lawyer on a no win basis ie the house will provide,cannot see your wife putting down a wad of cash to get things rolling.

Probably thinks you can go and new one will move in to the house,overstay and work on black market,tell immigration on that one.

Whatever was yours before marriage stays yours,whatever came into the marriage is split up

Can I remind members that the OP asked about a Visa when he started this thread, not divorce or how to protect assets.

This forum is questions on visas to other countries, not divorce and related issues.

If the OP wants advice on divorce or protecting assets no doubt he will ask in the appropriate forum, or even consult a lawyer.
