When a couple divorce in Thailand all marital property (sin somros) is divided equally. personal property (sin suan tua) remains owned by the individual. Thus marital property is anything acquired during marriage by way of gift, bought, or inherited. Personal property is anything acquired before the marriage like a house, tools, equipment & possessions. If both parties agree then the proceedings are straight forward.
Both parties are responsible for debts incurred from household affairs, education and medical bills. One can have a prenuptial agreement which is law & where property is subject to foreign laws. To be valid the prenuptial must be tendered at the marriage registration to be effective & signed by both parties & 2 witnesses. Most of these prenuptial agreements are between foreigners and Thais.
If one partner is employed, property is split equally. If the wife stays home and looks after the children she has the right to half even though she is not receiving payment. The parents divorcing can agree on who pays for the children's education and day to day living expenses and maintenance. if they cannot agree the Court will rule. the Court may also decide on living allowances based on the ability of the grantor & the status of the receiver.

Prenuptial agreements are necessary to create a financial plan which can be managed through the course of marriage/or upon the disintegration of the marriage. It is also useful for people who own substantial assets and properties and wish to control the division of the assets upon divorce.
2) Can we have an agreement after the marriage is registered?
According to Thai law, an agreement made after the marriage does not have the same effect as a prenuptial agreement.
5) Which types of property division can I specify in a prenuptial agreement?
It depends on the law involved; This may be Thai law or the law of the spouse’s home country (or a combination of both). Under Thai law, you may be able to specify the properties involved and separate them into two categories - community property and separate property. You can also specify how finances will be managed during the marriage. However, restrictions on child support are generally not allowed.
6) Does it matter if I get married in Thailand or my home country?
Yes. There are issues concerning conflicts of law and the applicability of those laws. Therefore, it is important that your attorneys understand both the laws in and outside of Thailand.

Landerwerb in Thailand
Dieses Thema ist vielschichtig,
zunächst dürfen nur Ausländer bis zu 1 Rai auf eigenem Namen erwerben, die ca. 1 Mio Euro in Thailand investieren, und dafür ein Zertifikat vom BOI (Board of Investment) bekommen haben.
Für alle anderen Ausländer gilt, dass sie kein Land auf eigenem Namen besitzen dürfen.
Aus diesem Grund gab und gibt es verschiedene Umgehungsvarianten,
wie zB. eine th. Firma, die einen realen Geschäftsbetrieb unterhält, und die dann auf Namen der LtD Land in Thailand besitzen darf.
(Diejenigen, die diese Variante mit einer LtD wählten, wo die Firma keinen realen Geschäftsbetrieb hatte, also Scheinfirmen, wurden und werden zu Recht als illegal gebrandmarkt).
Eine andere Variante war der Erwerb durch einen th. Treuhänder, wobei der Treuhänder zwar im Chanot steht,
desweiteren noch das 30 jährige Leasingrecht, sowie das ususfruct mit superficies rights.
Diese Variante wird oft von jungen th.-deutschen paaren gewählt, die sich aufgrund der kurzen Ehelaufzeit noch nicht über die haltbarkeit der beziehung sicher sind, und wo der ausländische Ehemann eine Absicherung benötigt.
Eine Besonderheit im th. Recht besteht darin, wäre die th. Ehefrau Landeigentümerin, dass sie das Recht hat, nach einer Trennung das eigetragende 30 jährige Leasingsrecht zu kündigen, weil man es für unzumutbar hält, dass die geschiedene Ehefrau nach ihrer Trennung mit ihrem Ex Ehemann geschäftlich verbunden sein muss.

wer ein Grundstück, abseits der Zentren bebauen will, muss mit einem veralteten Stromversorgungsnetz rechnen, welches viele sensible Agregate, wie die Motherboards von Aircons, Controllerkarten von Toröffnern, Kühlschrank und Netzteile regelmässig durch Unterspannung und Überspannungsspitzen ruinieren wird.
