Cross Border Maintenance Case

In Thailand
Last Updated: Feb 18, 2026
I am seeking representation in a civil action before the Thai Family Court.

Background in brief:
• 2018 Chinese mediation order (child support RMB 6,500 monthly)
• Respondent employed in Thailand
• Persistent underpayment and arrears,late payment
• Demand Letter already served in Thailand (November 2025)
No education fee ever provided

I am not seeking immediate full trial engagement yet

At this stage, I require:
1. Filing of a civil claim in Thailand relying on the foreign order as evidentiary basis
2. Strategy to secure enforceable Thai judgment while respondent remains employed
3. Advice on interim measures, if available.

Please advise:
• Whether firm handles cross border family enforcement
• Estimated staged fees
• Whether remote Power of Attorney is acceptable.

We do handle cross‑border family‑law matters, including the enforcement of foreign mediation orders in Thai courts. Our team can prepare and file the civil claim in Thailand, marshal the 2018 Chinese mediation order as primary evidence, and develop a strategy aimed at securing a Thai judgment that is both enforceable and practical while the respondent remains employed. We will also assess the availability of interim relief—such as a provisional attachment of wages or a temporary maintenance order—to protect your interests during the pendency of the case.

Our fee structure is staged for transparency: an initial consultation and case‑assessment phase (typically USD 1000), followed by a filing‑and‑pleadings phase (around USD 1,000–1,500), and subsequent advocacy phases (hourly rates USD 150–250 or fixed‑fee packages depending on the scope). Remote execution of a Power of Attorney is generally acceptable under Thai law, provided the document is notarized and, where required, authenticated by the Thai consulate or embassy. If you’d like a detailed proposal tailored to your timeline and budget, just let us know and we’ll draft it right away.

Sincerely,
Ascendance International Organization
