Both spouses normally attend the district office.<\/li>\n\n<li>A contested divorce needs one of the grounds listed in <a href=\"\/fr\/thai-civil-code\/section-1516\/\">Article 1516<\/a> of the Civil and Commercial Code.<\/li>\n\n<li>Marital property (sin somros) is divided equally between the spouses (Section 1533).<\/li>\n\n<li>The divorce agreement should also settle parental power, child support and any spousal maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These points summarise the law as set out in our full guide, <a href=\"\/fr\/divorce-in-thailand\/\">Le divorce en Tha\u00eflande<\/a>, which is reviewed regularly.
