PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program provides comprehensive guidance on legal strategies for safeguarding children of undocumented parents facing potential deportation. This program addresses the practical challenges of representing children whose parents face detention or deportation. The course examines various legal alternatives including guardianship, adoption, immigration and caregiver authorization, with particular attention to how these arrangements can interact with immigration processes to create long-term stability for affected children. 

Participants will learn effective strategies for pursuing relief through family courts, juvenile courts, probate courts, and immigration authorities while ensuring that clients understand their rights during interactions with enforcement agencies. This comprehensive approach equips legal professionals with the tools to develop coordinated legal plans that address both the immediate safety needs of children and their long-term immigration status in an increasingly enforcement-focused environment.

Designed for immigration attorneys, family law practitioners, guardianship specialists, and child advocates, this course examines the critical intersection of immigration law with family law, guardianship proceedings, and adoption processes.
