El Paso, TX asked in Child Support and Family Law for Puerto Rico

Q: Child Support through ASUME in PR for 2 kids. the oldest recently came to live with me. How can I proceed about the CS?

I pay Child Support for 2 kids through ASUME in PR, but I'm located in TX. My kids have been living in CT for the last 5 years. My daughter is about to be eighteen, and came to live with me after her High School Graduation, but my son stayed with the Custodial Parent. How can I proceed to change or cancel the child support since the order is through PR, and how could it change the payment for the second child?
