Q: If I want to leave PR with my 16yr old daughter away from my husband. will that be considered kidnapping?
I want to leave with my daughter from my bad husband who hasn't been treating us good at all. Should I wait until she is 18 in 2 years or am I able to book a flight to New York and leave now. I just don't want to get into any trouble.

Greetings:
Leaving the jurisdiction with your kid without the other parents consent can open the possibility of him filing a complaint against you and a possible criminal process. Considering that you are married, are having incidents with you husband and have a minor, there are several processes that have to be taken care of in a court of law and my nest advice is to hire an attorney so you can seek legal custody, child support, file for divorce and if you have common property request the court what is rightfully yours.
If you have any other question, feel free to contact us directly and we will be glad to be at your service.
