Divorce Lawyer in Phrae — 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 Phrae

Phrae has long been the North's teak and wooden-furniture centre and sits on the transport corridor linking the upper North to the Central plain. The timber trade creates its own issues — permits, proof of source, and agency inspections — alongside the sale-contract, trade-debt, land, and inheritance work typical of a mid-sized province.

Timber and permit cases usually carry a criminal and an administrative dimension at the same time, and the two have to be separated from the start. We frame the case before acting, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Phrae Provincial Court as scheduled.

Frequently asked questions — divorce lawyer in Phrae

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.
