Q. How long does my son's father have to be absent to be considered abandonment, and terminate his parental rights?

October 26, 2020

A: Hello and thank you for using Justia. There is an old staying, " No news is good news". This applies to your case. If he has not claimed afiliation, is not on the birth certificate nor never married to you he has no legal parental rights thus you have the full custody and "parens patria" of your Child.

According to the information you wrote, I donot think you want to get him involved. Even though you and your Child have a legal right to obligate him to respond and asume his paternal rights and obligations as the father of your Child, pay Child support, visit with your Child and leave him the Inheritance it would be in your and your child's best intrest to carefully evaluate if you really want to claim your legal rights or if it is best to wáit until and if the biológical Father claims his paternal rights.

Q. I recently moved to Puerto Rico from Florida and my employer offered for me to work remotely as 1099 employee

October 18, 2020

A: Hello and thank you for using Justia. You mention that you recently moved to Puerto Rico. One of the requirements for incorporating is the need for a Resident Agent of the corporation and an Incorporator, thus it must be a legal resident of Puerto Rico. (Living in Puerto Rico for more than 6 months)

You can file corporations on línea at https://prcorpfiling.f1hst.com/CorporationSearch.aspx

Before doing so, you should contact an Accountant to verify the type of corporation that best suits your and your client's needs. An Attorney can also assist in this matter and dovall filings, corporate organization, anual corporate reuniones and corporate books. You should also understand the implications of a 1099 relationship. (https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/irs-tax-forms/what-is-an-irs-1099-form/amp/L3NxSPMUe#aoh=16030062948046&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=De%20%251%24s). You will need to verify what exactly is the job description that you would have in Puerto Rico local tax liability and take into consideración all of the above before actually filing an incorporation.
