Q: My husband and I were married in Florida. I now reside in Puerto Rico. We've been seperated for ten years.
How do I proceed?
A:
Yes you can get divorced in Puerto Rico. The important part is how long have you been residing in Puerto Rico. If you have been living in Puerto Rico a minimum of a year, you can get divorced in Puerto Rico.
You will need the marriage certificate, birth certificate of all the children in common, a list of properties in common (if you have a prenup, have a lawyer check if the prenup is legal in Puerto Rico), and the last address known of your ex in order to notify him.
