It binds not just the divorcing couples but also their executors, administrators, assigns and heirs.

Advantages

Thailand divorce agreement becomes a valuable piece of evidence which can be relied on if any of the terms is violated by the parties. The court will foremostly consider what is provided in the agreement as reflecting the intent and covenant of the couple.
