Divorce Lawyer in Krabi — 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.

  • Division of matrimonial property (including overseas assets)
  • Child custody, support, and access rights

About our team in Krabi

Krabi is an international tourism province — hotels, resorts, and service businesses with substantial foreign investment and residency — while inland it remains large-scale palm and rubber. The recurring issues are beachfront land and contested title documents, hotel and service-business licensing, foreign holding structures, hospitality labour cases, and plantation disputes.

A good deal of southern beachfront land has a title history that must be traced back before purchase or investment, because the problem surfaces at the construction-permit or transfer stage. We trace the history first, every time. The team works in Thai, English, and Chinese, runs the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travels to appear at the Krabi Provincial Court.

Frequently asked questions — divorce lawyer in Krabi

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.
