Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I live in Florida and my husband filed for a divorce in Puerto Rico without me knowing. I put $57,000 for a house and he put $20,000. I made all repairs in the house. I received the money before the marriage. He does not want to give me back the money and wants to keep the house.

Before you do anything talk to an actual attorney.
Does the case belong in PR?
Where did the parties last reside together?
Have you filed anything with the Court in PR?
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
Call me to discuss the specifics of your case. I will give you a realistic idea as to the likely cost (fees and expenses). Then if you want, we can schedule a no-obligation office consultation.
Please do not send me any text messages.

Where is house? What relief is he seeking? You may need counsel in PR.
If you have ties to PR then you need to deal with the case there.
Speak to PR attorney ASAP, possibly need to file a Motion to Dismiss.
