tonymontana32 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hi All, Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction?! I have been separated from the mother of my daughter who's 6 for 3 years, i initially looked after my daughter for 6 months until my ex took her away to Phitsanulok but i did get to see my daughter within that time. She then came back to BKK at my request so we could be a family again for my daughters sake, this was in March this year but things didn't go t plan and i rented her a new room.This also didn't go according to plan as my ex is an idiot and keeps getting into issues with her "friends" and cant keep a job. My daughter has been living with myself and my girlfriend of 2 years for about 4-5 months, her mother on Monday called me saying someone is trying to kill her and is in a relationship with a tom who is probably trying to control her etc. Long story short its a <deleted> up situation and my ex is in no fit state to care for my daughter. Now as i wasn't married when my daughter was born and we didn't register the birth or me as the father, so in Thai law i am not the legal father which i need to sort out ASAP. I need a family lawyer that can help me legitimise my daughter so i am the legal father according to the law, and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good cost effective lawyer that can help sort this shit out. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBangkok Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 If you wait till your daughter is 7 you can be named as the father at the amphur office without any hassels.. ( I have heard that some provincial amphur offices will do it earlier but in Bangkok is 7 years old) if you want to do it through the courts it will cost around 20k abd will take around 4-5 months depending on the courts availability. You and your wife will also need to have an interview with the welfare department. I went through then court process earlier this year and apart from the court delays it was relatively easy. From what I understand it used to be quicker but there has been more rigorous following of the rules due to the surrogate mothers scandals last year. The lawyer I used was in ocean tower on Asoke. I don't have the name as I'm travelling at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketboybkk Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Get a Dna test so the authorities know she's your daughter. Then no one can say different Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
