Dear Sir,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your inquiry regarding divorce in Thailand. We appreciate your trust in our expertise, and we would be delighted to assist you on the matter.

In Thailand, uncontested divorces, where both parties are in agreement and there are no contested claims, are indeed possible. Our legal system recognizes the importance of facilitating such processes to ensure a smooth and efficient resolution. Here are the key steps involved:

1. Mutual Agreement:

• Both parties must be in mutual agreement to proceed with the divorce.
• There should be a clear understanding that neither party has contested claims, such as alimony, property disputes, or child custody issues.

2. Jurisdiction:

• The jurisdiction for filing the divorce case is typically the Amphur (District Office) where the marriage was registered.
• If both parties reside in different jurisdictions within Thailand, the case can be filed in either jurisdiction.

3. Divorce Petition:

• A divorce petition, along with relevant supporting documents, needs to be submitted to the Amphur.
• The petition should include details about both parties, the marriage, and a statement confirming the uncontested nature of the divorce.

4. Presence or Representation:

• While it is not mandatory for both parties to be physically present, at least one party or their legal representative must appear at the Amphur to finalize the divorce.

5. Marriage Certificate and Identification:

• Original marriage certificate and identification documents of both parties are required.

6. Divorce Certificate:

• Once the Amphur processes the case and is satisfied with the provided information, a divorce certificate will be issued.

Legal Assistance:

• While it is technically possible to handle an uncontested divorce without legal representation, seeking professional advice is highly recommended.
• Our law firm can assist you in ensuring that all legal requirements are met, documents are properly prepared, and the process is expedited smoothly.

Costs:

• The costs associated with an uncontested divorce can vary based on factors such as legal representation, document preparation, and administrative fees. We can provide you with a detailed estimate based on your specific situation.
