Divorce Lawyer in Prachuap Khiri Khan — 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.

About our team in Prachuap Khiri Khan

Prachuap Khiri Khan holds Hua Hin, one of Thailand's densest markets for foreign buyers and long-stay residents, while the south of the province runs on fishing, pineapple, and processing plants. The caseload splits cleanly in two: property, visas, wills, and family matters for foreign residents; and labour, fisheries, and crop purchase contracts.

Foreign-resident matters usually fail where the visa, the property holding, and the will do not agree with one another — a mismatch that only surfaces at transfer or on death. We align the whole set. 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 Prachuap Khiri Khan and Hua Hin Provincial Courts.

Frequently asked questions — divorce lawyer in Prachuap Khiri Khan

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.
