Why Families Choose Us

What sets Mettatham apart

We listen before we advise

Every family situation is different. We take time to understand yours before suggesting any direction, so the path forward genuinely fits your circumstances.

Plain language, always

Legal procedures can feel overwhelming. We translate what matters into clear, everyday language so you always know where things stand and why.

Your pace, not ours

We do not push timelines. Families facing difficult decisions need space to think, and we are comfortable moving at whatever speed feels right for you.

Confidential by default

Everything shared with us stays protected. Our practice treats discretion not as a feature but as a baseline responsibility to every client.

Thai law, fully understood

Our team works within the Thai Civil and Commercial Code and family court system daily. That depth of familiarity translates into steady, dependable advice.

Focused on relationships

We look beyond the legal formalities to what families actually need — fairness, stability, and a process that does not damage the bonds that matter most.

Ready when you are

Have a question about your family situation?

There is no obligation in reaching out. A conversation costs nothing, and it may help you feel clearer about what steps, if any, make sense for your family.

Common Questions

Things families often ask

How do I know if I need a lawyer for a family matter?
Not every family situation requires full legal representation, but it often helps to at least speak with someone who understands Thai family law. A brief consultation can clarify whether you are dealing with something that needs formal proceedings or something that can be resolved more informally through mediation or a drafted agreement.
How long does a divorce process typically take in Thailand?
In Thailand, an uncontested divorce (where both parties agree) can often be completed at the district office in a single appointment. Contested divorces — where matters like assets or custody are disputed — are handled through the family court and may take considerably longer. We help clients understand which path applies to their situation and how to prepare for it.
What factors are considered when arranging child custody?
Thai courts look at the best interests of the child above all else. Factors typically include each parent's living situation, financial stability, relationship with the child, and ability to provide care. We help parents understand what courts consider and how to present their circumstances clearly and honestly.
Is mediation a suitable option if things are tense between family members?
Mediation works best when both parties are willing to participate, even if the relationship is strained. A skilled mediator creates a structured space where each person can speak and be heard without it becoming a confrontation. Many families find that the mediation process itself eases some of the tension, because it replaces guesswork with direct communication.
What are your fees and how do you charge?
Our services start from ฿1,700 THB for child custody and support arrangements, ฿3,600 THB for family mediation, and ฿5,700 THB for divorce and separation counsel. The final amount depends on the complexity of your situation. We are transparent about costs from the start so there are no surprises.
Will my information be kept private?
Yes. Everything you share with us is treated with strict confidentiality under Thai professional standards for legal practitioners. We do not discuss client matters with anyone outside the team handling your case, and we take data protection seriously.
