Frequently Asked Question

A comprehensive guide addressing common concerns related to immigration. Here, we provide clear answers on how life changes, such as divorce, affect your visa, green card, or citizenship process, helping you navigate the complexities of your immigration journey.

What factors are considered in child custody decisions?

Courts prioritize the child’s best interests, assessing factors such as each parent’s relationship with the child, stability, and ability to provide a safe, supportive environment. Immigration status may also be considered, especially if it affects the parent’s residency.

How does my immigration status impact custody arrangements?

While custody is primarily based on the child’s best interests, immigration status can influence custody if it affects a parent’s ability to reside in the country or fulfill custody duties. We guide you on how best to address these factors.

Can I request custody if I live in a different country from my child?

Yes, but cross-border custody arrangements can be challenging due to varying international laws. Our team can assist in navigating these cases to create arrangements that support the child’s stability and parental involvement.

What is a parenting plan, and is it required in custody cases?

A parenting plan outlines each parent’s responsibilities, including schedules, decision-making, and communication. It’s often required in custody cases to ensure both parents have clear guidelines for co-parenting, and we help you develop a plan that meets legal requirements.

How is child support calculated in international cases?

Child support calculations may vary depending on the countries involved. We assist in determining fair support amounts based on local laws and international agreements to ensure the child’s financial needs are met.
