If a child is "legitmised" by marriage of the father to the mother or by a court, a subsequent divorce doesn't change that legitimisation ie you are BOTH legit parents with equal rights - unless a court changes that situation.

@Mike *******

Civil and Commercial Code Section 1547 - includes subsequent marriage.

@Mike *******

As I said,you can subsequently marry. I sought legal advice recently.

@Anthony ********

Just to round this off, a subsequent marriage to the mother of your child does make you the 'legal' father with full rights.

Did my 90 day on line last night. Time it right.

Get him to provide the evidence.

50 at time of application - 51st year actually.

I get it. Worth noting is the fact that Imm want to see all monthly IFTs neatly shown on headed, signed and stamped paper(ideally 1 sheet). I understand it must have the words 'International Fund Transfers' - they don't want various numbers and codes, although the statement must be backed up by passbook entries and bank advice notes pertaining to each IFT. This is the first year so it remains to be seen how it all goes down. As soon as SCB gets its s--t together I'm hot to trot down to Imm and I'll report back.

Martin SwainTo transfer myself may not count as a bona fide IFT - showi ng up in my account advice note as such. This has been addressed before on Thai Visa. There are also costs involved whereby to do it 'Provider to Bank' is relatively cheap.

Maybe an option.
