If both spouses agree, the divorce can be registered at the district office by mutual consent, usually in one visit, with a written divorce agreement signed in front of two witnesses (sections 1514 and 1515 of the Civil and Commercial Code). If one spouse refuses, or the district office will not register it, the case goes to the Family Court on one of the grounds in section 1516. Either way, marital property (sin somros) is normally split equally (section 1533), and custody and child support have to be settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tlo-hublink wp-block-paragraph\">Divorce is one branch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-family-law\/\">Thai family law<\/a>, which also covers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/glossary\/marital-property\/\">marital property<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/glossary\/child-custody\/\">custody<\/a> and inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"uncontested-or-contested-the-two-routes-compared\">Uncontested or contested: the two routes compared<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><\/th><th>Uncontested (mutual consent)<\/th><th>Contested (court)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Where<\/td><td>Any district office (amphur or khet), both spouses attending with two witnesses<\/td><td>Juvenile and Family Court<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Time<\/td><td>Agreement in 3 to 5 days, then one district office visit<\/td><td>Usually 6 to 12 months at first instance, longer on appeal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost<\/td><td>Fixed 9,900 THB with us, including the bilingual divorce agreement<\/td><td>Court fee of 200 THB without financial claims, 2% of the amount claimed where property is disputed.

Both spouses normally appear in person at a district office (amphur or amphoe, \u0e40\u0e02\u0e15 in Bangkok). It does not have to be the office where the marriage was registered: a family registration can be requested at any district office (clause 6 of the Ministry of Interior Regulation on Family Registration B.E. 2541). You\u2019ll need your marriage certificate, identification documents, and a signed divorce agreement. Two witnesses must also attend. If everything is in order, you\u2019ll receive a <strong><a href=\"..\/..\/divorce-certificate-thailand\/\">Divorce Certificate<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 (\u0e43\u0e1a\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e04\u0e31\u0e0d\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2b\u0e22\u0e48\u0e32) on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Divorce in Thailand\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qWLGOFdxvmM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Video: Divorce in Thailand. <a href=\"\/videos\/divorce-thailand\/\">Watch it on its own page<\/a> or browse <a href=\"\/videos\/\">all ThaiLawOnline videos<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-required-for-a-divorce-settlement-agreement\">A) \u201cUncontested Divorce\u201d or \u201cDivorce Agreement Settlement\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An administrative divorce is good for couples who can agree on the terms of the divorce. This mutual consent helps them avoid long court proceedings. It also makes it easy to file for divorce in Thailand. This process is usually simple and ends with a <a href=\"..\/..\/divorce-certificate-thailand\/\">divorce certificate<\/a>. This is true, especially when both parties agree on the divorce terms. It\u2019s the simplest, quickest, and least stressful way to go, <em>if<\/em>, and it\u2019s a big\u00a0<em>if<\/em>, both you and your spouse agree on everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Divorce assumes the marriage was valid in the first place. If your spouse was already married, or you were deceived or forced into the marriage, the right route may be a court case to declare the marriage void or cancel it.

In most of Thailand, this is called the\u00a0<strong>\u2018Amphur\u2019<\/strong>, while in Bangkok it\u2019s known as the\u00a0<strong>\u2018Khet\u2019<\/strong>. This is a term used in Thailand, where citizens get married in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Where to Go:<\/strong> Any Amphur\/Khet will register the divorce, not only the one where you registered your marriage (clause 6 of the Ministry of Interior Regulation on Family Registration B.E. 2541).<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Go Together, or at Two Offices:<\/strong> Each spouse <em>must<\/em> sign in person, but not necessarily at the same office. If you cannot both attend one office, each of you can sign at a different district office, or at a Thai registry abroad, and the divorce takes effect only when the second office registers it. If the second spouse does not file within 60 days of being notified, the first office and the first spouse are told (clause 21). Going together is faster: see the section on divorce when one party is abroad below.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Bring Witnesses:<\/strong>\u00a0You\u2019ll also need two witnesses to come with you, as required by Thai divorce law.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you have everything ready:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You need to provide your original IDs to file for a divorce.

They will confirm your identities and those of your witnesses. Most importantly, they will ensure that you both truly agree to the divorce. They will also make sure you understand the terms of your agreement. If everything is in order, they\u2019ll officially register your divorce.

If one spouse supports or honors another person as a spouse, commits adultery, or habitually has sexual relations with someone else, the other spouse has the right to petition the court to dissolve the marriage, unless they consented to it or tolerated it (section 1517). Besides the divorce, the hurt spouse can also ask for money from the other person involved. This is true if that person knew the spouse was already married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"three-supreme-court-decisions-every-foreigner-should-know\">Three Supreme Court decisions every foreigner should know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Decision <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/supreme-court-decisions\/1869-2566-foreign-spouse-national-law-must-be-proved-to-allow-divorce\/\">1869\/2566<\/a>: a Thai wife lost her divorce from her British husband because she never proved, as a fact, that English law permits divorce.

First, the Thai Constitutional Court decided that current adultery laws were unfair to women. Before this ruling, a husband could sue his wife\u2019s lover regardless of gender, but a wife could sue only her husband\u2019s female lover. This was found to be discriminatory. The law was later revised and came into effect in early 2025, replacing gender-specific terms with the word \u201cspouse.\u201d Now, either husband or wife can claim compensation from the third party, regardless of gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-can-a-thai-lawyer-assist-in-divorce-proceedings\">What our Thai lawyers do on a divorce file<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a divorce file, our Thai lawyers tell you what documents and evidence to collect, draft or check the divorce agreement, go to court for you if it comes to that, and deal with the translations and the official steps.

This includes determining the child\u2019s residence, managing discipline, overseeing education, and handling property matters. Upon divorce, custody arrangements can be settled through mutual agreement or court intervention. If both parents agree on custody terms, these should be documented in the divorce agreement. In disputes, the Thai Family Court will decide what is best for the child. They will look at the child\u2019s age, health, emotional bonds, and the parents\u2019 ability to care for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thai law prioritizes the child\u2019s best interests when determining custody (\u2018Parental Power\u2019). This can be agreed upon mutually in an uncontested divorce or decided by the court in a contested case. Both sole and joint custody arrangements are possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/glossary\/child-support\/\">Child support<\/a> is a separate question from custody. The parent who does not have custody normally pays toward the child\u2019s upbringing. The amount is set by agreement or by the court, looking at what the child needs and what the paying parent can afford. Put it in writing, in the agreement or the court order, so it can be enforced.

In Thailand, alimony is not given automatically. It must be requested and explained. The court weighs the payer&#8217;s ability to pay and the recipient&#8217;s position (section 1526). Thai law knows three sources of post-divorce support, not the American categories of temporary, rehabilitative or permanent alimony:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The living allowance (section 1526)<\/strong>: only where the divorce is granted for a ground that is the fault of the other spouse alone and the divorce leaves the claimant poorer, without enough income from property or work. The court may award what it thinks fit, or nothing, weighing the payer\u2019s means and the recipient\u2019s position, and the claim is lost unless it is made in the plaint or counterclaim in the divorce case itself.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Divorce for insanity or a serious contagious disease (section 1527)<\/strong>: the other spouse must pay a living allowance to the spouse who is ill, calculated in the same way.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Agreed maintenance<\/strong>: whatever the spouses write into a divorce agreement, which is the usual route in a divorce by mutual consent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A statutory living allowance ends if the recipient remarries (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1528\/\">section 1528<\/a>), and the court can later vary it on a change of circumstances (section 1526 applies section 1598\/39).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/child-support-in-thailand\/\">how long support lasts and when it can change<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-division-of-marital-property-in-thailand\"><strong>Division of Marital Property in Thailand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Personal Property (\u0e2a\u0e34\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e48\u0e27\u0e19\u0e15\u0e31\u0e27, Sin Suan Tua): This includes assets that a spouse owned before the marriage. It also includes assets received personally during the marriage as an inheritance or a gift. Personal tools or items needed for work can also fall under this category.\u00a0<strong>The property, Sin Suan Tua, stays as the separate property of each spouse.

It also includes income from Sin Suan Tua, like rent from a condo you already own.\u00a0<strong>Under Thai law,\u00a0<em>Sin Somros<\/em>\u00a0is considered jointly owned property.

You must register the agreement at the district office. This is called Amphur or Khet. Its terms must be entered in the marriage register, or it must be made in writing, signed by both spouses and at least two witnesses, annexed to the register and noted in it, at the time the marriage is registered (Civil and Commercial Code section 1466); an agreement not made that way is void. If properly drafted and filed, a Thai court will usually enforce the terms during a divorce. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/prenuptial-agreement-thailand\/\">prenuptial could have an impact on the separation of assets in a Thai divorce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"costs-of-a-contested-divorce-in-thailand\">Costs of a Contested Divorce in Thailand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a contested divorce, the main fixed cost is the court fee. For most cases without financial claims, it is only 200 Baht. If there is a dispute over marital property, the court fee is 2% of the amount claimed up to 50 million baht, capped at 200,000 baht, plus 0.1% of any part above 50 million baht (Civil Procedure Code, Table 1). Lawyer fees for a Thailand divorce are separate and depend on your chosen attorney. To understand the process and fees before filing a case, read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/what-to-know-before-you-go-to-court-in-thailand\/\">What to Know Before You Go to Court in Thailand.<\/a> This includes the importance of knowing divorce law in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-court-process-for-a-contested-divorce-in-thailand\">How to File for Divorce in Thailand: Step-by-Step for Expats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Filing for divorce in Thailand involves two main paths: administrative (uncontested) and court-based (contested). For expats, both paths are open, but the correct procedure depends on your specific situation. In this section, we explain the legal process under Thai family law for expats. This applies if you are filing against a Thai spouse or another foreigner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A divorce by judgment takes effect when the judgment becomes final (Civil and Commercial Code section 1531). It should then be recorded at the district office (Amphur or Khet), because until it is, the divorce cannot be relied on against third parties acting in good faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"divorce-for-foreigners-in-thailand-expats-divorce-in-thailand\"><strong>Divorce for Foreigners in Thailand (Expats Thai Divorce)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, foreigners can divorce in Thailand, whether the other spouse is Thai or another foreigner. The extra step for a foreigner is working out how Thai law meets the law of your home country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Thai court can hear the case where the defendant spouse has a domicile in Thailand or the cause of the divorce arose here (Civil Procedure Code section 4). If neither applies, a plaintiff who is Thai or domiciled in Thailand can still file in Thailand (section 4 ter). The court cannot grant the divorce unless the national laws of both spouses permit divorce, and the grounds are those of Thai law (Conflict of Laws Act section 27). Foreigners can register a divorce by consent at a district office (amphur, or khet in Bangkok) when the marriage was registered in Thailand (sections 1514 and 1515), and a divorce by consent is valid only if both spouses&#8217; national laws allow it (Conflict of Laws Act, section 26). For a marriage registered abroad, Decision 5887\/2533 held that the spouses could still register a consent divorce in Thailand under the Family Registration Act, and that where one spouse signed a written divorce agreement and then refused to register, the other could ask the court for a divorce judgment without proving a section 1516 ground. In practice a district office may not register it without a Thai record of the marriage, so a Family Court judgment is often the safer route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then comes the question foreign clients ask first: whose law applies? Thailand\u2019s Conflict of Laws rules answer that, and the answer depends on your facts. What is certain is the procedure: in a Thai court, filings, deadlines and hearings always follow Thai procedural law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For decisions about child custody or parental rights made by a Thai court, the main rule is the \u201cbest interests of the child.\u201d This rule applies especially to children living in Thailand and follows Thai law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/divorce-in-thailand-with-a-foreign-marriage\/\">divorce with a foreign marriage certificate<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-divorce-recognition\/\">is your Thai divorce valid abroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cost-of-divorce-lawyer-thailand\">Cost of divorce lawyer Thailand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our fee for an uncontested divorce is a fixed 9,900 THB.

However, this option is not available everywhere. If you are thinking about this path, first contact the Thai embassy or consulate in your country. They can help with the divorce process, especially if you are a foreign spouse. Some embassies allow you to start the divorce there, but procedures can vary widely depending on the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs-about-divorce-in-thailand-or-common-questions-related-to-a-thai-divorce\"><strong>FAQS about Divorce in Thailand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-f5c3a203ed173\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How long does a divorce take in Thailand?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>An uncontested divorce is usually the quickest route: the agreement takes 3 to 5 days and registration takes one visit to the district office. A contested divorce usually takes 6 to 12 months at first instance, and longer if it goes on appeal.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-0030980143775\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is a Thai wife entitled to half of everything?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Not of everything. She is normally entitled to half of the marital property (sin somros) under section 1533, unless a valid prenuptial agreement or a signed divorce agreement says otherwise. Personal property (sin suan tua), such as assets owned before the marriage, gifts and inheritance, stays with its owner. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/divorce-in-thailand-property-division\/\">How section 1533 splits your assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-60c331fcd29ce\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What should I know about divorcing a Thai wife?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If she agrees, you can register the divorce at a district office with a written agreement on property, children and support, provided the marriage was registered in Thailand. If she refuses, you need a ground under section 1516 and a Thai court with jurisdiction, and you must show that your own national law also allows the divorce (section 27 of the Conflict of Laws Act). A foreigner cannot own Thai land, so a share in a house on land is usually settled in money or by sale.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1748924787414\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can foreigners get divorced in Thailand?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A Thai court can hear the case where the defendant spouse has a domicile in Thailand or the cause of the divorce arose here (Civil Procedure Code section 4).

You should also bring any prenuptial agreement. For contested cases, add evidence supporting the grounds such as bank statements, police reports, or witness affidavits.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1748925163812\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/divorce-in-thailand\/#cost-of-divorce-lawyer-thailand\">How much does a divorce cost in Thailand?<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Our uncontested divorce is a fixed 9,900 THB: bilingual Thai and English agreement, consultation, and written instructions for the district office.

Do I get anything in a divorce?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It depends on when and how it was bought. A home bought during the marriage is usually shared property, even if only your spouse&#8217;s name is on the title. Property one spouse owned before the marriage, received as a gift or inheritance, or bought with their own separate money usually stays theirs. If the home is land, a foreign spouse cannot own it, so ask us how your share would be handled.

Under Section 1526 the spouse at fault may be ordered to pay a living allowance if the divorce leaves the other spouse poorer. Supreme Court Decision 1242\/2567 awarded 50,000 THB a month for ten years to a 66-year-old wife divorced for her husband&#8217;s sole fault. Decision 875\/2561 holds that a divorce settled by consent produces no fault finding, so no alimony unless the agreement provides for it, and Decision 8151\/2560 holds that the spouse whose fault caused the divorce cannot claim it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"thinking-about-divorce-in-thailand\">Why foreigners use us for a divorce in Thailand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Family law is a core part of our practice.
