Frequently Asked Questions
What is the divorce process in Puerto Rico?
A divorce begins by filing a petition in the Court of First Instance. Puerto Rico recognizes divorce by mutual consent and by irretrievable breakdown, and the court addresses property division, custody, and support.
How is child custody determined in Puerto Rico?
Courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child, considering both legal and physical custody. Joint custody is increasingly common, but sole custody may be awarded based on parental fitness and stability.
What is Law 54 in Puerto Rico?
Law 54, the Domestic Abuse Prevention and Intervention Act of 1989, is Puerto Rico's main statute protecting victims of domestic violence. It defines domestic abuse, creates the related criminal offenses, and lets victims obtain civil protection orders from the Court of First Instance.
How do I get a protection order under Law 54?
You can petition the Court of First Instance for a protection order, and in an emergency the court can issue a temporary ex parte order the same day. The order can require the aggressor to stay away from you, your home, and your workplace. An attorney can help you prepare the petition and present evidence at the hearing.
