Re: Divorce from American Citizen in Thailand
There are so many facts you have not stated that orevents me to give you any advice at this stage.
1.If i undertsand correctly, you were married in Thailand, if so was marriage registered and if so under what law?
2. Since you are an Indian, you should be governed by the Indian Marriage laws; however, where is your place of residence in India?
3. How long since your husband deserted you?
If necessary, I can refer you to a Bangkok lawyer who can send necessary notices on your behalf to your husband.
