Divorce Lawyer in Nan — 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 Nan

  • 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

Process

  1. 1Initial consultation — facts review, choose consent or contested path
  2. 2Negotiation — property, children, support
  3. 3If agreed — settlement deed and amphur registration
  4. 4If not — petition the Juvenile and Family Court and court mediation

About our team in Nan

Nan borders Laos at the Huai Kon crossing and has an unusually high proportion of forest and mountain. What comes through the door reflects that: land and cultivation-right disputes overlapping forest zones, administrative cases between residents and state agencies, agricultural-land inheritance, and contract work for a tourism sector that has grown quickly.

Land cases overlapping forest zones only become clear once title documents, possession history, and the agency's boundary lines are read together. We check all three before advising whether to sue, defend, or negotiate, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Nan Provincial Court.

Frequently asked questions — divorce lawyer in Nan

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.
