Divorce Lawyer in Sa Kaeo — 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 Sa Kaeo

Sa Kaeo holds the Aranyaprathet-Poipet crossing, the highest-value Thai-Cambodian trade gate, and is a special economic development zone. The disputes are fully those of a border town: customs procedure, cross-border sale and distributorship agreements, debt recovery where the counterparty sits on the Cambodian side, migrant labour, and warehousing and transport matters.

Cross-border debt is won or lost when the contract is signed — which court, which law, and whether any security sits on the Thai side. Where none of that was set up in advance, chasing it afterwards is expensive. We draft terms that can actually be enforced, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Sa Kaeo Provincial Court.

Frequently asked questions — divorce lawyer in Sa Kaeo

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.
