Q: My friend is from Puerto Rico and is in her early 70's. She was happily married to her husband,
when his daughter, took him from the home while she was at the doctor's office and has literally taken over his finances, sold his home and car and filed for divorce in St. Augustine. She was given legal aid in St. John's County. She does NOT want the divorce. The case is to be transferred to Orange County. She has been here for months, crying because she wants to return to PR with her husband but the daughter has prevented them from seeing/ talking to each other. She took her father's phone from him and had locked the doors when the wife went to see him. I don't know if this would be considered a hostage situation? She has to go home to take care of some things on 4/8/18 & I was hoping to get her some answers and a lawyer before she leaves. Can you please have a lawyer that speaks Spanish contact her?
A:
The case number in St. Johns Co. is DR17-1202, not 1201. You can view the docket at this link:

It appears that the case has indeed been transferred. The case in Orange Co. is 18DR002950.
Sorry, but I don't speak Spanish very well.
