Q: I live in California and I filed Motion for Custody of minor as the father lives in PR. How can I serve him?
A:
You'd have to do it using a method that Puerto Rico law recognizes. I am not licensed there, but I would guess serving him personally would be sufficient. You will need someone in Puerto Rico to do that, though. This could be a friend or family member. I do not know whether local law enforcement in PR would be able to do this for you. I have never looked, but I assume there are process servers in Puerto Rico. If you give them a name and address for the father, I am sure they could serve him.
