Custody & Kidnapping

Unfortunately, since I cannot give out specific legal advice or analyze legal situations, I cannot give you a “yes” or “no” answer to your question - however, I hope to link you to some information that may help you decide what direction to take. First, I looked up the Puerto Rico government website to see how they define themselves. On that website, it says:
“The term “United States” when used in a geographical sense on official documents, acts and/or laws; includes the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.”
Here is the website that says this: http://www.topuertorico.org/government.shtml Please note that we are not affiliated with them and WomensLaw cannot vouch for any information contained on any outside website.

However, if you believe that this violates your order, you may want to consult with an attorney in STATE who practices custody law for advice. It may be possible that this issue may have already been ruled upon in other STATE court cases and so perhaps STATE courts and judges may have their own opinion as to whether it is considered part of the US for travel and custody purposes. Also, sometimes if a court order is not clear to the parties, either party may be able to ask for a clarification in court - some states have a petition that a party can file for clarification or sometimes if there is an upcoming court date, a party may ask the judge to clarify the terms of an order, etc. Again, speaking to a lawyer may help - here is a link for lawyers in STATE if you didn’t have one already on your original case who you can call:LINK
