A: If there's no custody order at the moment and given some extraordinary situations, emotional abuse being one of those, you can travel to Puerto Rico with your kid and file for custody after 6 moths of living in here or request an emergency hearing where you can prove with legal assistance your reasons for fleeing. They will evaluate if they have the elements to grant temporary custody and the will give chance to let both parties present to the court their facts and proof that support their cases. Remember that this has to be proven in court. We have broad experience with this type of cases on both ends. If you have any other questions feel free to contact us.
