One important purpose of a prenuptial agreement is to make available to the splitting couple arrangements on alimony in case their marriage turns sour. Without need for parties to battle each other at such a sensitive time, these provisions on support need only to be enforced at the breakdown of their marriage. A well-drafted prenuptial agreement must be able to provide feasible and financially responsive support provisions not just to the receiving party, but to the paying party as well.

Following this, British citizens also find themselves getting their divorce from Thailand. Thailand has both contested and uncontested divorces.

Hong Kong laws allow its citizens and foreigners to petition for a divorce as long as any one of the parties is able to show “substantial connection” to the city state.
