Thai English Prenuptial Agreement
Drafted Under Thai Law
Thai marriage and the matrimonial property regime between husband and wife is primarily governed by the chapter property between husband and wife in the Civil and Commercial Code. A prenuptial agreement in Thailand governing assets of the spouses and management over personal and matrimonial property is an allowed contract and is a valid contract between husband and wife as long as:
- both parties understand the contract's (prenup's) content;
- its clauses are not against good morals or the law, and;
- is registered together with the marriage in the marriage registers.
Independent legal advice for husband and wife is not required for making a valid prenuptial agreement in Thailand under Thai law, however when a valid prenuptial agreement has been made the family courts in Thailand will have to determine the enforceability of the clauses in the prenuptial contract in a contested divorce. Any clauses in the agreement made against good morals or the law in the opinion of the court are null and void and not enforeable by legal action in Thailand. What husband and wife can agree upon in a Thai prenuptial agreement is limited and generally the system of property of husband and wife (as laid down in the Civil and Commercial Code) is considered of public order (these are basically mandatory rules from which husband and wife have no freedom to derogate).
