If she's got no money, guess what? If you're going to get hit with them in the end anyway, maybe you can take some proactive steps to keep her out of jail. Chances are better she can pay off more of them if she isn't in the hoosgaw. I'd be looking for an attorney. So you think a husband can be complicit in a criminal act of fraud committed by his wife, without his knowledge?

Mansell Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I really feel for this guy and his kids. Your wife has a serious addiction that is no different to alcohol or drug or food or sex addictions. I am not sure if good professional help is available in this country, others on here may know. Only you can know if you want to stand by your wife. A very difficult choice because you have been betrayed and lied to probably for quite a while with lies compounded on lies. My sister in law also had a similar thing where she sold the land /houses at knock down prices to finance her gambling addiction. Fortunately my wife bought the land and houses back, but that relationship is totally f+*%d. Can you ever trust her again? If she walks will it deter her from future screwups? Maybe prison will. Tough decisions. But protect yourself and your children first.....your wife had her chance and blew it. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macthehat Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Truth is , nobody knows how heavy the sentence will be until the court decides . All cases are different . IMO Best thing to do now is damage limitation and divorce is the best option for that . Wash your hands of the charges or you will pay. This does not mean walking away from your wife if you don't want to . That's something you will need to think over and not something someone here can tell you to do . Good luck with your plight , stay strong . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoon Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Only a technicality, but a lot of people are talking about "trust betrayed" and "deception", although the OP does not indicate that he was unaware that she had a gambling "problem" when he married her or during the marriage, or that the debts were built up without his knowledge. He doesn't seem very unhappy about it. He just wants to crunch numbers. It sounds more like they are seeking a way to minimise the financial liabilities of a shared, irresponsible, bad, "investment".

No clue. I doubt he could be held complicit in the crime, but he may be held liable for the debts. My guess would be that some of the debts were incurred legally, before she got in so deep and turned to fraud to compound the problem. That's why I'd get the attorney.

Gracas Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 If your wife has told you she has built up a debt of 2 million Baht I think you should, 1. Confirm that it is actually 2 million and not MORE. 2. Who are the lenders and what she has pledged to them. Her going to jail (if and when she loses the court case) is most likely the least of her (and your) problems. The lenders will want their money and just divorcing won't put you in the clear. You may need to take bigger steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keesters Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Do as your wife asks..divorce. You can still love and support each other without being married. And when everything is settled you can marry again. If you have kids try and get sole custody till everything is settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innocenthai Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I feel nothing for you but really sad for your kids, and you are responsible to have chosen her as Mom. Don't tell me that she comes from an educated family with money. OF COURSE NOT. So she had the perfect background to end this way and you chose her...

Seems he is just getting opinions on outcomes with the law, in hope of saving the day and marriage. Of course leaving now is a no brainer for most, how can you trust this person ever again, but it seems good guys always finish last. So OP, dig deep and pay back the money fix this mess your wife created or as others have said, look for those hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2702 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 For sure you have proof of all her misdemeanours and you are 100% sure she is not trying to give you the elbow for reasons unknown. She sounds like a chameleons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you fix trust when it has been broken by someone you have given your life to? Same here - 26 years of happy marriage, complete change of life style behavior/ visual appearance – from an angel into bitter, unhappy women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguyfromanotherforum Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Wouldn't a divorce be yet another way to commit fraud? Divorce after the fact won't resolve anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
