Divorce Lawyer for Foreigners in Saraburi — Thai-Foreign Marriages, Cross-Border Property, Custody
Divorces between a Thai national and a foreign spouse — or between two foreign nationals who married in Thailand — engage two legal systems at once. We help untangle them: which country has jurisdiction, where the divorce should be registered, how Thai matrimonial property is divided, what happens to overseas pensions and real estate, and whether a Thai decree will be recognised in your home country. Many engagements never see a courtroom because we settle by mutual-consent registration at the amphur; for contested matters, the Juvenile and Family Court is where the case is heard.

About our team in Saraburi
Saraburi is Thailand's cement and construction-materials base, and the land gateway every truck from the Northeast passes on the way into Bangkok. The legal work holds to three things: labor at the plants and quarries; contractor and materials-supply agreements, where the disputes are usually about progress payments and deductions; and land cases spanning farmland, project sites, and boundaries running up against concession areas.
Saraburi is within reach of both our Bangkok and Khon Kaen offices. On construction disputes we start by reading the progress-payment records and the full correspondence trail, because these cases turn on the order of the documents, not on testimony given afterwards.
