Immigration Issues in Collaborative Divorce: When to Bring in a Neutral Immigration Attorney/Expert
Presentation will include discussion on immigration issues that intersect with family law in collaborative divorces, custody cases, and child support enforcement. Will provide overview of immigration visas and various statuses, including temporary or permanent nature of each, and how that status can affect parties when going through a divorce, especially when certain immigration benefits are pending during a family law matter. Also to be discussed is how and when an immigration attorney may be a necessary neutral party when assessing the parties’ abilities and potential to remain in the US, length of time related to their stay in the US, and how this can affect their parental and/or financial obligations to the other party and children. International travel provisions and passport controls for the children involved may need to be addressed. The ethical portion of the presentation will focus on the duties collaborative attorneys and professionals have in asking immigration-related questions that can affect their client’s future obligations and goals, and making a determination as to whether immigration advice is needed. Ethical portion will also focus on what questions should be asked during intake with a client in order to assess if immigration issues are or can be triggered.
