Divorce FAQs

What if I have a prenuptial agreement?

The validity of prenuptial agreements in Thailand divorce procedures is contingent on the location of the registration of the marriage of the parties in questions, the laws of the country where the prenuptial agreement was drawn up, the location of the divorcing couple’s assets, and the intent of the parties

Parties who reside in Thailand, whose assets are in Thailand, who married in Thailand and who registered valid prenuptial agreements will have their cases decided in accordance with Thailand divorce law. However, parties who registered their marriage in a country outside of Thailand, or who executed prenuptial agreements in the country of the registration of their marriage, or have resided outside of Thailand may request that the law of a foreign nation apply (although the court hearing the case is a Thailand court). There is a complex set of laws called Conflict of Law Rules that determines what law applies in various situations. These rules are quite complicated.
