If a divorce is amicable, then sorting out joint assets should remain relatively straightforward.
However, if one spouse is angry about the divorce or is hungry for revenge, they could or even hide joint assets.
If this is a real concern, then it is sensible to consult a divorce lawyer immediately about steps that can be taken to safeguard your joint assets. For example, avoidance of large cash balances in joint accounts or filing a temporary restraining order and applying for an emergency hearing regarding joint property.
In a Thailand divorce, separate property, namely assets and property acquired before marriage, generally remains the property of the owner. Assets and property acquired during marriage are commonly considered community property with both spouses having ownership rights.
