Divorce Lawyer in Ratchaburi — 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 Ratchaburi

Ratchaburi is a food and livestock base feeding the Bangkok market directly, with large pig and poultry farms, processing plants, a power station, and its traditional ceramics industry. The cases follow: manufacturer and distributor agreements, product standards and consumer liability, factory labour cases, environmental and odour complaints against farms, and industrial land disputes.

Environmental complaints typically begin with the local authority before they reach court, and the outcome at that stage weighs heavily on the case. Letting the first stage pass unanswered concedes ground before the hearing starts. We take the matter on from the agency stage, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Ratchaburi Provincial Court.

Frequently asked questions — divorce lawyer in Ratchaburi

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.
