Hi I urgently need help on how to get a divorce in Thailand.
I married in an ampur in Khonkaen 2 years ago. I will go to an ampur in Bangkok for the divorce. (district office)
As far as i know I need a legalised copy of my passport, both marriage certificates, a translator and witness. (assuming this is a uncontested divorce). I have coppied the passport and have had it legalised here in the uk to certify it is a true copy of the original.
Ok here are the issues.
I have a new UK passport and my ex says that I need to get this translated and stamped to make it a legal translation. I'm assuming this is done at the ministry of foreign affairs. Why does this need to be translated?
Also my ex says she needs 20000bht for protection from the police (this could mean legal aid..not sure) and if I don't pay her that she will not divorce me.
Also she said I need to put approx 1000bht in an envelope and give it as a tip/backhander to the people at the ampur to make everything go smoothely.
From all the threads and forums I've read, I have not seen anybody mention this.
Is what she is telling me correct?
She was in complete agreement but her tone has changed over the last few days, as if somebody has had a word with her and it seems she is trying to make abit of money.
Is it advisiable to just bite the bullet as its only £500.
If anybody has been through a thai divorce, any help is much appreciated.
Basic facts
She now lives in thailand
no kids
only married 2 years
No joint assets etc
Her mother is an evil person
Regards
Bobby
