Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to help you understand the issue and prepare your next step.

Why can a family dispute require both immigration and parenting advice?

An immigration matter may affect residence, travel or care planning, while a parenting case addresses the child's arrangements. The two systems ask different legal questions. Explain the actual proceedings and documents so the issues can be coordinated without assuming one decision resolves the other.

What should I focus on if immigration status is raised in a parenting disagreement?

Document the child's actual needs, care history and proposed arrangements, and identify any real immigration proceeding. Separate evidence from threats or predictions. A label about status does not describe every relevant fact about the child's daily life.
