From the Families We Have Worked With
These accounts are shared with the permission of the clients involved. Names and locations reflect the diversity of families we assist in Bangkok.
Sophie M.
French expatriate, Bangkok
"My husband and I came to Karuna for help with our prenuptial agreement. We had both heard these conversations could become tense, but the adviser made it feel straightforward and calm. She explained each clause clearly, gave us space to ask questions, and we came away feeling the document actually reflected what we had agreed."

David T.
British national, Bangkok
"I needed help understanding my options for spousal maintenance after a separation. The team at Karuna was honest and didn't encourage me toward anything adversarial. The advice was practical and helped me reach an arrangement that both sides could actually live with. It took about six weeks in total."

Arisa W.
Thai national, Khlong San
"I came to Karuna to sort out custody arrangements for my two children. The process was difficult emotionally, but the adviser helped me stay focused on what was best for the children rather than what felt fair or unfair to me as a parent. The arrangement we reached has worked well for both children."

James P.
Australian, Bangkok
"What I valued most was that the adviser took time to explain what a prenuptial agreement does and doesn't cover under Thai law. I came in with a lot of assumptions from my home country that simply didn't apply. By the end I felt properly informed rather than just signing something I'd been handed."

Naiyana L.
Thai national, Bangkok
"I wasn't sure whether my situation warranted legal advice at all — I just wanted to understand my position regarding maintenance. The consultation helped me understand clearly what I was entitled to ask for and what a fair arrangement might look like. I didn't feel pressured to take things further than I needed to."

Marcus R.
German national, Bangkok
"Working through custody arrangements for our daughter was hard, but having Karuna involved made it considerably less stressful. Our adviser kept everything focused on what would actually work for our daughter's daily life, and that helped both my ex-wife and me stay reasonable when things got difficult."

Case Studies
How We Helped
A closer look at three situations where our involvement made a practical difference.
Case Study 01 · Prenuptial Agreement
The Situation
An Australian citizen planning to marry a Thai national in Bangkok had significant property holdings in both countries. Neither party had previous experience with prenuptial agreements and both were uncertain whether the process would cause friction.
Our Approach
We arranged a joint consultation to give both parties a clear overview of what the agreement would and would not cover. We then worked through each asset class carefully, drafting terms they could both agree were fair. Two revision rounds were required before the final document was signed.
The Outcome
Agreement finalised within three weeks of initial consultation. Both parties reported the process was less stressful than anticipated. The couple went on to register their marriage with a legally sound agreement in place, covering assets in both jurisdictions.
"We were expecting it to be awkward. It wasn't. The adviser handled it in a way that felt like a sensible planning step, not a confrontation." — A., client
Case Study 02 · Child Custody
The Situation
A Thai-British couple with two school-age children had separated after twelve years of marriage. Both parents wanted significant time with the children and had reached an impasse on a number of practical points, including the school year schedule and decisions around overseas travel.
Our Approach
We worked with both parents separately before facilitating a structured discussion. Our adviser kept attention on the children's routine rather than the parents' preferences, which helped shift the conversation. A detailed parenting plan was drafted covering term-time, holidays, and decision-making protocols.
The Outcome
A full parenting plan agreed without court proceedings, within eight weeks. Both children maintained stable schooling throughout. The father later returned to confirm the arrangement had held up well through the first year.
"I think both of us came away feeling we'd found something workable, which I didn't think was possible at the start." — N., client
