Elijah Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hi, (Sorry for my english ^^ My english is so bad :p) I would like married with a thai girl and in the future buy a condo. I would like to know, If i'am married and buy a condo, it's 50/50 ? :'( I would like buy condo my name and take 100% not 50 50.. It's possible when already married ? Because I'am the man, We know it's only man put 100% money for buy. I don't want give GF when I buy alone. And other question, If I buy condo, and I have children's. We can put name children and my name for the condo ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 If you are married, your wife can claim half of what you buy during the marriage if you later divorce. Your options are: 1. Buy it before you get married 2. Get a pre-nup 3. Put it in your child's name 4. Get divorced. Buy the property. Then get remarried again. 5. Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Really no problem to buy a condo in your name. The law permits foreigners to buy and own condo. Only landed house you can't own. Say this from experience. Loan from local banks may be a problem. If buy cash like I do, really no issue and rather simple. The condo officer arranged every aspect of the documentation requirements for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the small problem with a popular condo (in say BKK ) you can not buy if the farang ownership is up to 49% already. I don't quite see the point in you asking about putting it in the children's name.....so you have gone from asking if you can own it 100% to the idea of not even owning it......if you have children at a latter date------why not see if you can get an open (dated) sales clause, where if you decide to part latter----you can buy her out at x amount----she does deserve something for being your wife & (maybe) having your children.

PoorSucker Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Buy in your wife's name, she will own 50% anyway. It does not matter hwo is the owner, assets bought during marriage is spit 50/50 in case of divorce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedsada3 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Getting married or not depends of the culture, religion and... the will to show the loved one that the love is real. It's everyone's choice. I wouldn't marry any more but let's people get their own experience But what I don't understand is people who plan to marry and already think about the divorce!

1FinickyOne Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I hope some day you will love her enough not to want to exclude her from having benefits in marrying you. She must be sad to feel you are so set on trying to keep her life down rather than make it better. I would think the idea behind marriage is that you each try and help the other have a better life. If you cannot afford to give or cannot give gladly, then best not to give at all. I built a house for my wife in her village. In her name. I did it because I wanted her to have her dream come true. I did not do it for my own personal marital security. She owes me nothing for it. If we were to split up tomorrow, I will still be happy that she has a nice home in her village. So far, I have lived here for 15 years. There is no guarantee in life that it will last forever, but I think you have a better chance of a happy marriage if you are concerned about your wife's happiness too. Good luck. i hope it works well for both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLang Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 You will own it 100%, unless you get married first and happen to divorce after. Then she can claim 50%. If you think you may get divorced, don't bother getting married. You will own it 100% forever if you buy it before you get married, or don't get married.

williamgeorgeallen Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 getting married to a thai is one of the mistakes many foreigners make. there is no point. you can buy a condo in your own name and as long as you dont get married no woman can take it off you. like another guy said why get married at all anywhere. wish i never did.

Snackbar Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 hahahah If you want to live in a badly designed shoe box, built by Burmese and be tied to a materialistic self obsessed ignorant woman go ahead. It costs B100 to get a marriage licence and B100 to cancel one. No need to get stuck with the wrong woman. And it's far cheaper than renting one by the hour.

AndyOz Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 If you want to own anything of substance solely, my advice is don't get married. With your attitude as night follows day, divorce will follow marriage. Stay single and buy your condo. Marriage is hard enough if you are both pulling in the same direction. It is impossible if you're not. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if if use that same money to buy a condo (proof it came from outside Thailand), then its half hers. I can understand assets "jointly" acquired during marriage, 50/50. Is this one of those, someone at a bar told me, or has it actually happend to some posters ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
