Thailand Family Law is the branch of law that deals with domestic-related issues in the nature of marriage, domestic partnerships, spouse abuse, child adoption, child abuse, child custody, divorce and property settlements.
Family related cases can be a very sensitive area. Therefore, it requires a very professional and dedicated service to a couple who may be filing for divorce or legal separation.
A prenuptial agreement is a written contract between two people in anticipation of marriage. It normally lists all the properties each person owns and defines the rights and obligations of both parties. It specifies how to manage their finances during the course of marriage. This will also define what each person’s property rights will be, in case of termination of marriage either by death, divorce or cancellation by court.
Talk to our lawyer if you have uncertainties about whether it would be suitable for you. Our lawyers with divorce-litigation expertise can also advise you on how a prenuptial agreement will be treated in divorce.
