Divorce Lawyer in Sukhothai — 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.

Scope of divorce lawyer work in Sukhothai

  • Uncontested divorce — settlement deed and registration at the amphur
  • Contested divorce — Civil and Commercial Code grounds such as adultery or keeping another as spouse, serious misconduct, physical or mental cruelty, desertion, or voluntary separation for the statutory period
  • Division of matrimonial property (including overseas assets)
  • Child custody, support, and access rights
  • Protection orders in domestic-violence cases
  • Cross-border matters — visa implications, child nationality

About our team in Sukhothai

Sukhothai runs on two legs — cultural tourism and rice-and-sugarcane farming on the Yom floodplain. The legal work follows: farm-household land and inheritance, debt and enforcement, contracts for accommodation and retail businesses around the historical park, and land-use restrictions inside heritage zones.

Heritage-zone land restrictions are usually discovered only after a stop order has issued, which is far harder to unwind than checking before investing. We check restrictions and permits first, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Sukhothai and Sawankhalok Provincial Courts.

Frequently asked questions — divorce lawyer in Sukhothai

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.
