MikeN Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I got a phone call from an old BG friend the other night.. "khun mike, I have problem" Oh (sensing a monetary request) what problem? "peter (her long time regular) ask me marry him' congratulations ....So whats the problem? "I marry before, thai man, he no good, i leave him, no divorce, no tell peter" Yes, that could be problem.. "What i do ?" What am I, a thai lawyer ? how the **** would I know? So she has to get divorced by Xmas... Anyway, this morning a google tells me she can get a divorce on the spot at the amphur office, IF she can find him and he agrees. So, any suggestions how she might track down her long lost husband ? I am NOT paying for an expensive private detective ! And if that fails, anybody know how long a divorce takes through the courts ? and then I found this: A widow or divorcee will be permitted to remarry not less than 310 days after the previous marriage has expired, unless Has given birth to a child. Remarrying the same person. Not pregnant, as certified by doctor. (in case of early remarriage) Approval to remarry from a court is obtained. If I read that right, she has to get a doctor to certify she is not pregnant if she wants to marry in less than 310 days from date of divorce ?

Mekong Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Correct, or should I say it was correct in the mid 90's when I married my ex. Even though we had been together for 3 years before we wed she was still officially married to a Thai and as well as getting divorce papers she also needed to get the certificate from the Doctor, it can be done in an hour. I expect your friends biggest problem will be tracking down her ex and getting him to agree to a divorce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Just tell his mother or sister that she wants to marry a farang and I think he'll contact quickly and asks for money... :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian2 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I think elef has it right, a few baht could fix it. But remember that that also brings him back on the scene. A lot of Thai girls retain fond memories of no good Thai husbands. Better she confesses all. He knows she works bar, what should a husband or two matter.

Mekong Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Just tell his mother or sister that she wants to marry a farang and I think he'll contact quickly and asks for money... :evil: Elef, that is what I mean, getting the medical cerificate stating she is not pregnant can be done for a couple of hundred baht, registering the divorce with the same city hall the marriage is registered at, 500 Baht, but the cost to buy off the ex-husband.

elef Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Can be a business deal between the mothers for example, but it will cost at least 10 k baht with a farang involved, probably they'll ask for 100 or 200 k. :thumbdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Oh (sensing a monetary request) what problem? "peter (her long time regular) ask me marry him' congratulations ....So whats the problem? "I marry before, thai man, he no good, i leave him, no divorce, no tell peter" looks like another farang want to marry a honest bar lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
