Family Law Updated on Services  

Providing a Comprehensive Legal Framework to Support Family Relationships, Manage Personal Affairs, and Protect the Rights and Responsibilities of Individuals within the Family.

Practical and Reliable Legal Support 

Family law matters require careful legal analysis, procedural accuracy, and a high level of discretion. Our experienced family lawyers in Bangkok provide structured legal solutions for individuals and families dealing with marriage registration, divorce, child custody, adoption, and prenuptial agreements in Thailand. 

Marriage Registration in Thailand

Marriage registration in Thailand requires careful compliance with local legal requirements, particularly for foreign nationals. We assist you in understanding and complying with local legal requirements, guiding you through the necessary documentation and procedures to ensure an efficient and properly completed registration process.  

We provide comprehensive legal support, including:  

• Preparation and review of identification documents  
• Assistance with affidavits of freedom to marry  
• Coordination of certified translations and legalization (where required)  

Our role is to ensure that the registration process is completed efficiently and in full compliance with Thai law.

Marriage Registration with a Thai Citizen Abroad

We provide comprehensive legal support to Thai citizens who marry abroad, ensuring their marriage is properly recognized under Thai law. International marriages require careful compliance with documentation standards and Thai administrative procedures.  

Our services include:  

• Legalization of the foreign marriage certificate  
• Review of supporting documentation to ensure compliance with Thai regulations  
• Assistance with form completion and scheduling government office appointments  

We ensure that the marriage is officially recorded and fully recognized in Thailand. 

Divorce in Thailand

Understanding the grounds for divorce is crucial for anyone considering this step. Our lawyers provide clear information on both mutual consent and contested divorces.  

A mutual consent divorce is available when both parties agree to terminate the marriage. We assist with mutual consent divorces by preparing the required documents and ensuring compliance with all legal procedures, including gathering and presenting required evidence, filing the case, attending hearings, and obtaining a judgment.  

A contested divorce involves court proceedings based on specific grounds such as adultery, desertion, or abuse. This requires establishing statutory grounds under Thai law and presenting supporting evidence. Our firm provides full legal representation, from preparing petitions and gathering evidence to attending hearings and securing a court judgment. 

Child Custody Matters

Child custody is one of the most sensitive areas of family law. We help parents understand their rights and responsibilities under Thai law, ensuring the best possible outcome for their children.  

Custody arrangements depend on the child’s best interests and the parents’ circumstances. Thai law recognizes joint custody, where both parents share legal and/or physical responsibility; sole custody, where one parent has primary decision-making authority and the other may have visitation rights; and, in limited cases involving multiple children, split custody when it serves each child’s welfare.  

We advise parents on their legal rights and responsibilities, assist in negotiating custody arrangements where possible, and provide structured representation in court proceedings when required.  

Child Adoption in Thailand

Adoption in Thailand involves a detailed legal process, including eligibility assessment and court approval. Prospective adoptive parents must meet statutory criteria regarding age, marital status, and financial stability.  

Our adoption services include:  

• Coordinating home studies and required evaluations  
• Filing documents and representing clients in court.  
• Finalizing and registering the adoption  

For international adoptions, we provide comprehensive support to meet both Thai and international legal requirements. 

Pre-Marital / Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement provides clarity about asset ownership and financial responsibilities before marriage. Under Thai law, such agreements must be in writing and registered at the time of marriage to be legally enforceable.  

Our firm provides comprehensive assistance, including legal consultation, drafting tailored agreements, reviewing compliance with Thai regulations, and coordinating registration alongside marriage registration. The objective is to create a legally sound agreement that protects both parties and reduces future uncertainty.

Our Commitment 

Family law matters often carry significant personal and financial implications. We approach every case with professionalism, discretion, and a clear legal strategy. Our focus remains on procedural accuracy, enforceability of documentation, and practical legal solutions aligned with Thai law.  

For individuals and families seeking dependable family law services, at FRANK Legal & Tax, we provide structured legal guidance and experienced representation tailored to each client’s circumstances.
