Family law

In Thailand

Last Updated: May 16, 2024

Hello. My husband and I are foreigners living in Thailand for 6 years. We have signed a contract regulating our mutual obligations. Is the contract legally binding without the signature and seal stamp of a lawyer or intermediary lawyer? How much does it cost to conclude such a contract, and will such a contract have legal force in the event of going to court due to non-fulfillment of the clauses of the contract?? Thank you

Thank you for your question.   It appears that you are referring to a prenuptial agreement.  If the agreement is properly drafted and signed by both parties prior to the marriage, it should be valid.   However, we would need to review the agreement to provide you with a proper legal opinion.   You may send a copy of the agreement to us. You may contact us directly and discuss this matter with you

It is not mandatory for a contract to have a lawyer’s signature or seal to be legally binding in Thailand. A contract without a lawyer’s signature or seal can still be enforceable as long as it meets the legal requirements. For the contract to be enforceable in court, it should be clear, specific, and comply with Thai law. This includes specifying mutual obligations, rights, and remedies in case of breach. Consulting with a lawyer to draft or review a contract can help ensure that it meets legal standards and is tailored to your specific needs. Lawyer fees in Thailand can range from approximately 5,000 to 20,000 THB or more, depending on the complexity and the law firm's reputation.
