Prince Ranariddh, ex-National Assembly president and now top advisor to Cambodia´s King Norodom Sihamoni and his former wife Princess Norodom Mary Ranariddh before they both ask for saperation.
Prince Norodom Rannariddh, a powerful and famous politician before his recent retirement, on Tuesday morning appeared in Phnom Penh Municipal Court in connection with a March 1, 2006 complaint against his ex-wife Princess Mary to ask for a separation, according to a court source.
“The Phnom Penh Municipal Court Chief recalled the prince to the court on September 22, 2009, for reconciliation by legal procedures before ruling,” the source told DAP News Cambodia on Tuesday.
However, only Prince Norodom Rannariddh appeared in the court, without his ex-wife, Princess Mary.
“A recall for princess Mary was issued on September 17, 2009 to ask her presence at court on Tuesday, but … [she] went to Thailand in September,” the source added.
“I am willing to separate with Prince Mary and the problem is very complicated, but at the moment, the court starts to discus and review the case,” Prince Rannariddh told DAP News Cambodia on Tuesday.
Rannariddh said his attendance was to demonstrate his willingness to cooperate.
The prince’s lawyer Ly Sovann told DAP News Cambodia that the prince’s ex wife went to Thailand on September 16, 2009, before she could be recalled to court.
Prince Rannariddh is apparently willing to sign over all shared property if the princess agrees to separate. The property shared by the former married couple includes a house in Kandal province, land at Vor Mountain in Kampot, and land in Siem Reap province.
Princess Mary could not be reached for comment.
