Updated July 2026 — with our real, published fees.
The honest answer: an uncontested divorce in Thailand costs 9,900 THB in legal fees with our firm, as a fixed package. A contested divorce starts at around 70,000 THB because it involves court proceedings. Government fees are minimal for administrative divorce. Below is the full breakdown — no “contact us for a quote” games.
Divorce Costs at a Glance (2026)
| Type | Legal Fee (THB) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Divorce by mutual consent (full package) | 9,900 fixed | Agreement in 3–5 days, registered in one district-office visit |
| Divorce agreement only (drafting) | 9,900 | 5–10 business days |
| Contested divorce (court) | from 70,000 | varies by case |
| Consultation | 2,000 / hour | within 24–48 h |
What Makes Divorce Cheap or Expensive in Thailand
Everything depends on one question: do you and your spouse agree? If both spouses agree on the divorce and its terms (property, custody, support), Thailand allows an administrative divorce at the district office (amphur) — fast and inexpensive. Our 9,900 THB package covers the bilingual divorce agreement and registration guidance. If you disagree on any major term, or one spouse refuses, you need a court divorce with grounds under Thai law — lawyer time, hearings and evidence make this start at 70,000 THB and rise with complexity.
Two more cost factors worth knowing: an administrative divorce is only possible for marriages registered in Thailand and requires both spouses to appear in person, and if you have children or shared property, a well-drafted divorce agreement is what prevents far more expensive disputes later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there hidden government fees? The district office registration itself costs only a small administrative fee. Court divorces involve court fees that depend on the claims made — we itemize everything in the engagement letter.
Does the 9,900 THB package include child custody and property terms? Yes — the divorce agreement covers custody, support and property division terms agreed between you.
Can I divorce in Thailand if I married abroad? Usually only through the court route — read our full divorce in Thailand guide for details.
