Divorce Lifeline: Affordable UK legal clarity for expats right here in Bangkok
Unresolved UK legal matters have a way of following you, even when you’ve built a new life thousands of miles away. For British expats in Bangkok, Thailand, the challenge isn’t just the legal issue itself; it’s managing it from abroad.
A divorce that won’t be finalised. A financial settlement is stuck in limbo. Property disputes or employment matters that require attention in English or Welsh courts. The distance compounds the problem, turning what should be a straightforward resolution into a logistical headache that’s both expensive and time-consuming.
Divorce Lifeline, a legal consulting firm with offices in Guildford, England and Bangkok, offer specialist support for British expats dealing with UK legal proceedings, with a significant advantage: you can meet their advisers face-to-face right here in Thailand.
Local support for UK legal matters
Unlike traditional UK-only law firms, Divorce Lifeline maintains a presence in Bangkok, giving clients direct access to experienced legal advisers who understand both the UK legal system and the practicalities of living abroad.
No matter where you are in Thailand, the firm can arrange in-person consultations, eliminating the need for costly flights back to the UK, extended accommodation stays, and time away during an already stressful period.
Divorce Lifeline provides professional guidance through the McKenzie Friend model, a UK court-recognised framework that allows individuals to represent themselves with the support of a very experienced legal adviser.
This approach guarantees expert assistance without the substantial fees typically charged by traditional UK-based solicitors. Importantly, the firm does not charge VAT, keeping costs manageable for clients based in Thailand.
Comprehensive legal expertise
Despite the name, Divorce Lifeline’s expertise extends well beyond family law. Their areas of practice include:
- Family law-divorce, financial settlements, children’s matters
- Estate and tax planning
- Property disputes, including landlord and tenant issues
- Wills and inheritance matters, including dual jurisdiction property issues
- Civil litigation-pursuing or defending all civil claims generally
- All forms of contract and commercial disputes
- Professional negligence and negligence claims generally
- Employment law and redundancy matters
- UK motoring offences and their consequences
Thorough preparation and support
While Divorce Lifeline’s advisers do not act as solicitors directly, they manage all the relevant preparatory work, ensuring clients are well-prepared and supported at every stage. With over 45 years of combined experience, the team has an established track record in complex legal disputes.
Their pre-court services include case management, legal guidance, drafting and reviewing documentation, organising paperwork and evidence, and managing communications between parties.
Divorce Lifeline prepares all court documentation and correspondence, both with the courts and opposing parties and saves the client the worry, whilst supplying the client with the benefit of their considerable experience
The firm was founded to address concerns that traditional solicitors often lacked the depth of understanding needed for complex financial cases. Over the past 12 years, Divorce Lifeline has helped clients recover more than £15 million from negligent or underperforming legal service providers.
