Divorce Lawyer for Foreigners in Nakhon Nayok — 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.
