My question involves a marriage in the state of: Puerto Rico
My boyfriend's mother is getting a divorce. Her husband (his father) hasn't lived in that apartment for more than a year and just today he is suing her and filed for a divorce. This guy is an abusive prick. Always has been. She has never had a job. She got married at 18 or 19 and gave birth to my boyfriend when she was 23 (he is 23 now). The father never let her have a job or anything so all her life she has never had a job but only took care of her son (my boyfriend). All throughout his life, his father has been emotional and psychological abusive and at times grabbed her by the arm and once had a fight with my boyfriend by the fists. He left the house in 2011 and never came back. Now he is "suing" her and filing a divorce. My boyfriend and his mom live together in this apartment and my boyfriend just got fired from his job. They have no money and owe a lot of money on the apartment. This guy is nuts in the head. What will she get out of this? Will they get to keep the apartment? I need advice and legal answers. I want to help any way that I can. What I really want to know is if she well get alimony and will she get to keep the apartment?
PS. They have also lived in that apartment all their lives. My boyfriend was born and lived there since
