Divorce Lawyer in Bangkok — Uncontested, Contested, Property Division, and Child Custody

Divorce in Thailand has two paths — by mutual consent (registered at the district office) or by court petition (filed at the Juvenile and Family Court). We handle both, alongside related matters: division of matrimonial property, child custody, child support, and temporary protection orders.

Scope of divorce lawyer work in Bangkok

  • Uncontested divorce — settlement deed and registration at the amphur
  • Contested divorce — Civil and Commercial Code grounds such as adultery or keeping another as spouse, serious misconduct, physical or mental cruelty, desertion, or voluntary separation for the statutory period
  • Division of matrimonial property (including overseas assets)
  • Child custody, support, and access rights
  • Protection orders in domestic-violence cases
  • Cross-border matters — visa implications, child nationality

About our team in Bangkok

Service for Bangkok and its metropolitan area — Thailand's capital and its financial and industrial hub. We have a Bangkok branch office in Lat Phrao and appear at the Civil, Criminal, Central Labor, Central Tax, and Central IP & International Trade Courts. We cover factories and operators across Bangkok-area industrial estates such as Lat Krabang, Bang Chan, Gemopolis, Nava Nakorn, Bang Kadi, Bangpoo, and Bang Phli — labor and wrongful-termination cases, import-export customs, BOI investment, and commercial-contract advisory.

We specialize in Bangkok's specialized courts — IP, Central Tax, Central Labor, and Central Administrative — plus M&A, foreign investment, and advisory work for factories in industrial estates: labor and termination disputes, factory and environmental compliance, customs procedures, and BOI privileges. We keep a Bangkok branch office in Lat Phrao and our partners travel to Bangkok regularly, serving clients at lower cost than a downtown-capital firm.

Frequently asked questions — divorce lawyer in Bangkok

3 questions answered

File a contested divorce at the Juvenile and Family Court on statutory grounds (e.g., adultery, cruelty, three-year separation, non-support). We help compile the evidence and prepare the petition.
Property acquired before marriage is 'personal property' and stays with the owner. Property acquired during marriage, plus earned income, is matrimonial and split equally. Proof of origin is critical — we help inventory the assets and gather supporting documentation.
Courts weigh both parents' earning capacity, the child's standard of living, and age-appropriate expenses. If circumstances change later (e.g., the child starts at a private school), a petition to increase support can be filed.
