Question

Can i get divorce from hawaii without having to go to puerto rico

Answer 1

Yes, you can file for divorce in Hawaii.

1) Will your divorce be consensual? If so have the papers drawn up for an uncontested divorce, have her sign in front of a Notary and file.

2) Even if contested you can still file, she will have to answer to your complaint and the process is the same even if she is absent.

Remember Puerto Rico is a US territory and US laws apply.

Answer 2

you can get a divorce where you live just file and let a lawyer handle the rest.
