Family Law in Thailand

In Thailand, Family Law is the area of law that deals with handling the legal matters in a family. People who might need lawyers to represent them in family law cases may include husbands, wives, guardians, children and grandparents. Matters under the family law are not limited to post-marital and pre-marital arrangements, divorce, custody and so on and so forth. Juvenile delinquency, paternity, adoption, visitation rights are also part of the matters that can be handled by a lawyer that specializes in family law. More often, lawyers who specialize in family law settle divorce and legal separation of partners and help them settle the division of assets, child custody and support and other matters that might arise from their separation. In case of their inability to settle their cases amicably, they may take their case to court where a family lawyer will represent the partners. The judge will mostly decide the controversial matters between the couple.

Many people hold the wrong notion that the attorney is to be consulted when a divorce is inevitable. This is wrong. A family lawyer is not always required only when the marriage has hit the rocks. A lawyer can be gotten to help out with the legalities of adopting a child, for instance. Depending on the jurisdiction, the laws vary from place to place. Sometimes, biological parents will relinquish all their rights to the child but at other times, they will retain one or two rights to the child. Some couples will also make agreements in a contract that will stipulate the terms in the case that a divorce occurs in the future. If there is also a case of abuse in the family, the best person to help out in such a case will also be a family lawyer. In case of juvenile delinquency, a case in which a child in the family commits a crime, a family lawyer is the one professional to turn to.
