Divorce Lawyer for Foreigners in Kamphaeng Phet — Thai-Foreign Marriages, Cross-Border Property, Custody
Divorces between a Thai national and a foreign spouse — or between two foreign nationals who married in Thailand — engage two legal systems at once. We help untangle them: which country has jurisdiction, where the divorce should be registered, how Thai matrimonial property is divided, what happens to overseas pensions and real estate, and whether a Thai decree will be recognised in your home country. Many engagements never see a courtroom because we settle by mutual-consent registration at the amphur; for contested matters, the Juvenile and Family Court is where the case is heard.

About our team in Kamphaeng Phet
Kamphaeng Phet is a major sugarcane, cassava, and oil-palm province in the lower North, with sugar mills and buying yards at the centre of its economy. The disputes that arise are supply contracts and arguments over quality or weight, debt recovery between mills, farmers, and brokers, seasonal labour cases, and large-plot land disputes.
Quality and weight disputes are won or lost on weighing records, sampling, and the conditions written into the contract in advance — not on arguing afterwards. We put the contract and the document trail in place before the problem exists, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Kamphaeng Phet Provincial Court.
