Jeez, has it been THAT LONG?!?! It’s been almost 4 months since I last blogged, and I’ve been missing it since.

I was relocating my offices to Ponce, and the whole remodeling/moving/setting up took a little longer than expected. But I’m back to my “normal” routine, and I’ll be blogging much more in the time to come.

Expect a few comments on Puerto Rico’s Supreme Court’s step away from the no-fault divorce, the loosely translated “Irreparable Rupture”, which is as close as we had to “Irreconcilable Differences”. The only option for a fast track divorce is Mutual Consent, and two dissident opinions from the Court’s two women make this opinion from a rather conservative court a landmark in Family Law Jurisprudence.

Now that we’re into the Family Law topic, another hot item I’d love to cover is the jurisdictional problem confronted by ASUME, the PR Child Support Administration when enforcing child support determinations through the UIFSA, given the fact that Puerto Rico is a Mixed Jurisdiction Territory. I’ve come across several unresolved questions when dealing with Child Support across jurisdictions, especially when they come from a Territory, instead of a State. I’ll be adding a little to that topic later.

Last, but not least, I’ll be explaining how successions operate in Puerto Rico. This is probably the most sought after information in my practice, since approximately 75% of it is dedicated to wills, estates and successions. The most important operation in Puertorrican estate matters is the hereditary order, and the birth of the post-mortem (after death) community. The order begins simple, but it starts complicating itself exponentially. The “who-gets-what” question is possibly the hottest topic in my practice, so I’ll be dividing that topic into several posts, because it becomes a fascinating and complex operation of family ties and dates.

Stay tuned, and it’s good to be back.
