Divorce settlement via her taking half of my age pension

[bluewoody552]

Left Australia and wife with AU$10,000. Of course she is not happy. Still trying to get a divorce with her organised from Thailand. She is lazy and walked away from a good government job while putting my earnings to gambling. Any Australians share from experience is she can take half of my pension? Thank you

In Australia she cannot touch your age pension but she probably will get half of your assets anywhere. Exception if you have children you have to pay child support.

Thanks Harry. I do not have assets, only cash in Thai bank. No kids under 25

I'm moving this to home country forum since it is really Australian laws that are the issue. May get more responses there.

That cash in thai bank counts as assets. It will take a couple of years before she can get a divorce case heard.....and prperty comes after that. Sa,me for you.

It is posible to do it from here yoursellf but it is a little messy.

Why bother with a divorce?

If your planning on marrying a Thai don't, if centreline find out you will loose part of your pension.

If you don't want to settle with your ex loose yourself in Thailand, dout she has the means to come look for you.
