Resolving International Family Disputes in Thailand: A Presentation by Sasirusm (Roll) B. Chunhakasikarn

Australian Family Lawyers Conference

Thailand is one of the top tourist destinations in the world and it has proven to be a popular place for expatriates to live and work. But as expat communities grow, the number of international family disputes has been increasing too. In this presentation, Sasirusm (Roll) Chunhakasikarn will review Thailand’s Family Court procedures, with special regard to issues relating to international disputes. In particular, the presentation will include an examination of:

  • International divorces
  • Case studies of how a variety of family disputes can be resolved in the Thai system
  • The new draft law on child abduction and its implications for international families

Roll, an attorney-at-law, is a top litigator specializing in complex family and commercial disputes. The presentation will be given as part of the Australian Family Lawyers Conference, which will be held from June 7-11, 2013, in Phuket, Thailand, at the Angsana Laguna Resort.
