Quick answer

Uncontested divorce under CCC §1514 requires both spouses at the same Amphur with two witnesses. Government fee THB 20, filing completed in one day. NYC drafts the settlement agreement covering marital assets, custody and support from THB 12,500 to prevent future disputes.

Amphur vs court divorce

Amphur divorce (CCC §1514) — mutual, fast, cheap. Court divorce (§1516) — contested on 10 statutory grounds (adultery, cruelty, desertion, bankruptcy, etc.), taking 8-18 months at THB 80,000-250,000. NYC scopes both routes for you.

Child rights under CCC §1520

Uncontested divorces must include a parental-authority agreement; otherwise the court decides. NYC drafts under Best Interest of the Child and UN CRC principles to avoid future modification suits.

Marital property CCC §1533-1535

Pre-marital property + inheritance + gifts = separate. Property acquired during marriage (except inheritance) = marital, split 50/50 including joint debts. NYC prepares an asset inventory with an independent appraiser.

1) Thai divorce certificate must be translated + Apostilled for foreign registration 2) US/UK/Australia recognize automatically under Hague 3) China/UAE require embassy legalization 4) Non-Immigrant O marriage visa lapses on divorce — reapply within 30 days.

FAQ

Can I divorce without my spouse present?

Not at Amphur — both must attend. If the foreign spouse is abroad, use court divorce with international service. NYC arranges.

What if the other party refuses to sign?

You must sue in court on one of the 10 grounds under §1516. NYC has family lawyers filing across all Thai provinces.

Statutory child-support rate?

No fixed rate — courts use income evidence plus actual child expenses, typically 15-30% of payer income. NYC benchmarks against precedent.

Can I revert my maiden name?

Yes — file Tor.Ror.5 at the district office with the divorce certificate and Thai ID. Fee THB 100. Update passport within 30 days.

How is real estate split?

Land Department transfer per the settlement — 2% of appraised value + 0.5% stamp duty. NYC completes within 7 days after divorce.
