PR Custody section update

November 2021

We rearranged our Puerto Rico Custody section to better organize the information included in that section. We also added the questions:

What happens when joint custody is issued but one parent refuses to work together with the other parent?
What are some pros and cons of starting a custody case?

All changes were made in English and Spanish.
