Family law matters increasingly intersect with immigration issues, particularly where individuals and children maintain ties across borders. Divorce, custody disputes, allegations of abuse, criminal exposure, and financial orders can have significant and sometimes unintended consequences on immigration status, sponsorship obligations, admissibility, and the ability to travel between countries.
United States has complex immigration framework that may be directly impacted by family law proceedings. In addition, custody determinations and protective orders may implicate international considerations.
This program offers a practical, comparative overview of how family law proceedings can affect immigration outcomes. It is designed to help practitioners and mental health professionally recognize potential risks, address immigration-related concerns proactively, to protect their clients’ interests or children’s interests in family law proceedings.
