bkkryn Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Howdy. I have known this Thai lady we have met at the work place for around 3 yrs now. I kept on flipping jobs, it's tiring to apply for visa overseas and worst case me visa may not be approved. We were discussing this matter one day and she proposed to register our marriage at local amphur without having big messy wedding ceremony. She was once married just fyi... As far as I know, she has quite a huge debt and no savings... And townhouse she bought, has some problems, including land sinkage, water leaking from the roof etc... Anyhow, after registering our marriage at local amphur, I have no obligation to clear her debt before marriage? Once divorced, what am I obliged to pay? 50% of my assets? What are assets basically...? Suppose if I have an overseas bank ac or assets overseas not disclosed to her, it wouldn't be counted right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Well....Stand outside the box. Why buy the cow if already have the source....Which doesnt sound like its free by the way. You may not be liable for her debts however the track record on her part aint so great. It also sounds like the debt will increase over time. Also I dont understand the tie in with your employment status and oversea jobs. Unless you are getting hitched so you can get a marriage visa....again not a good idea whatsoever....... Should not have posed the question Once we get divorced rather If....Freudian slip maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 All she has to do is wait until you are married then get a loan to refinance her debts. Half of that debt is now your responsibility. Now, do you think you will get half of the house when it is paid off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Certainly if your Australian and most possibly English or American, longer the Marriage goes the greater her rights to your overseas assets both from before and after marriage. Of course she needs to be the type to want to go after it and has the means, so if your worth a bit any solicitor in AU will consider it done, you both will end up close to broke once they get through with you. As for her local depts again the longer your married to her depending where that borrowed money comes from good chance your going to be expected to cough it up regardless that the dept was way before your time. In Thailand any savings, property or anything material brought or inherited during the marriage becomes "the assets". Enjoy your honeymoon.

pgt99 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Think what Blackcab said has more than a ring of truth about it. Never thought of this scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkryn Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Scary <deleted>... One marriage could end me life savings... Is there any way of checking her financial/loan status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserted Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 If you marry her, you can expect that debt to become your debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Fly solo the only way to go in the modern world, the advantage of living in Thailand with a woman to date is she has no rights unlike in AU, once you slip that ring on a woman finger it becomes a loose hangman's necktie, i believe in love etc etc but I've also learned even with good intensions relationships for many don't last, seems rather silly to marry just to simplify your visa, of course you would have to be into the woman to consider I'm sure...

bkkryn Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 What if the lady is hi-so? When i divorce her, could I get half her ASSets after the marriage? (prudiant slip) 5555~~~~ Weeee~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 If you are lucky enough to marry a Thai hiso then there is a good chance that her money derives from her family's wealth. In which case you could expect the family to politely insist on a pre-nup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSure Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 ^^^ You're on a roll today Blackcab. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thongkorn Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 If you marry her, you can expect that debt to become your debt. why not just give her money from time to time for favours. that way you get what you want and she can pay off her debit.
