Q: My wife moved to P.R. with my daughter violating the geographic restriction
I was arrested on Mother’s Day for domestic violence, my ex told the police I hurt my daughter. The case was no billed. July she moved to Puerto Rico while our divorce was pending. We got it finalized in August. She suppose to have brought my daughter back to the states so I filed for enforcement. Since I did that she got a exparte protection order against me claiming I kept calling her a threating her. I have never threat her and yes I kept calling it was my visitation day. I have videos and messages showing she is violent. I was never served the exparte it came certified it was delivered to the building 1109 but I stay in 1109b and my neighbor gave it to me. It shows the exparte is in effect and I have a court date on the 24 and it says if I don’t answer it will be finalized in PR, my enforcement hearing is on the 25th in TX. All I want is my visitation with my daughter. What do I need to do. Do I need to get a lawyer in PR. I have one in TX for enforcement?
