Pawtucket, RI asked in Child Support for Puerto Rico

Q: Can mom open a assume child support case in PR when there is an open case in MA?

Question.... If my fiancé pays child support through Boston MA CS system. And the mom moves from MS to Puerto Rico, can she open an assume case in PR even though there is an ongoing open case in Boston Massachusetts? She keeps telling my fiancé that the minor needs health insurance and because of that she needs to open an assume case in Puerto Rico. She's also been telling my fiancé to make an agreement and close the case her in Boston. What do you think we should do?

Thanks in advance!
