Cross-border family issues

Our Scope of Services

We provide representation and guidance in a wide range of domestic matters, including:

Divorce and separation – handling termination of marriage, legal separation, property division and related proceedings.
Child-custody and parental rights – advising on matters such as residence, visitation, parental authority, and scheduling of support.
Spousal and child maintenance – ensuring payments, enforcement and modifications of support obligations are properly handled.
Prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements – drafting and reviewing marital contracts, safeguarding individual assets and clarifying expectations.
Family property and succession issues – assisting with division of marital assets, wills, inheritance rights and guardianship matters (especially for foreign nationals).
International family issues – cases involving cross-border aspects such as foreign marriages, international children, relocation and enforcement of foreign judgments.

Why Legal Expertise Matters

Language and legal-system barriers: Court documents and hearings are conducted in Thai; foreign parties often require translation and culturally adapted strategy.
Emotional impact and procedural complexity: Family disputes frequently involve multiple layers—financial, parental, property—and the court must consider vulnerable parties (especially children).
Timely action: Support claims, custody filings, property rights and enforcement deadlines may apply; early intervention can protect your position.
Cultural and legal nuance: Thai family law is underpinned by statute and court practice; matters such as parental authority and maintenance require careful attention to local norms and legal precedent.

How BASE Law Firm Assists You

Initial assessment & strategy
We begin with a confidential consultation to understand your family situation, goals and key concerns. Based on this we craft a plan tailored to your circumstances, whether you are initiating a case or responding to one.

Preparing documentation & advocacy
Our lawyers help you compile and submit required pleadings (in Thai or translated form), manage hearings, represent your interests at mediation or court, and assist with negotiation of settlement terms where appropriate.

Cross-border and asset-related matters
When the dispute involves property, international parties or complex financial issues, we coordinate with tax, asset-recovery and foreign-law specialists to preserve rights and enforce outcomes.

Post-judgment services
Even after a court decision or agreement is reached, we support enforcement of orders (maintenance, custody changes, asset transfers) and guide modifications when your personal or family situation evolves.
