A: Hello and thank you for using Justia. You will need a certified copy of the Court Order and attached a Apostille Stamp from the State Department un Puerto Rico. With the document, you Will appear in the Las Vegas Court House and request a Court Marshalls assistance to get your daughters.

A: Greetings:

You can file through your legal representation the course of action to regain and keep the legal custody of your kids, reinforce through the proper channels and agencies to proceed on securing the well being of your kids.

The first step should be to reinforce the court order and request an emergency hearing with your attorney present so the agencies (Puerto Rico and Las Vegas) can do their part.
