FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Must a prenuptial agreement be registered in Thailand?
Yes. Under Thai law (Section 1466 of the Civil and Commercial Code), a prenuptial agreement must be made before marriage and registered at the Amphur (district office) at the time of marriage registration. Without registration, the agreement is not enforceable.
Can a prenuptial agreement be changed after marriage?
No. Thai law explicitly states that a prenuptial agreement cannot be modified after marriage registration. This is a critical difference from many Western legal systems. Any changes require a court order, which is rarely granted.
What can be included in a Thai prenuptial agreement?
A Thai prenuptial agreement can cover the classification of property as personal (Sin Suan Tua) or community (Sin Somros), management of marital property, and division of assets upon divorce. It cannot waive child support obligations or include terms that violate public order or morals.
Is a prenuptial agreement enforceable for foreigners in Thailand?
Yes, as long as it meets Thai legal requirements: it must be in writing, signed by both parties, and registered at the Amphur during marriage registration. Having the document in both English and Thai improves clarity and enforceability.
What happens to property without a prenuptial agreement?
Without a prenuptial agreement, all property acquired during the marriage is considered Sin Somros (community property) and is split equally upon divorce. Property owned before marriage remains personal property, but proving ownership can be difficult without proper documentation.
