This presentation will provide practical tips for professionals who work with immigrant families at risk of separation due to detention or deportation. With a goal of reducing a family’s risk of child welfare involvement, the presentation focuses on creating care plans based on whether a parent wishes to reunite with their child in their country of origin, or have their child remain in the United States with a caregiver. It equips providers with the knowledge to guide families in gathering critical documents, naming trusted caregivers, and navigating complex custody issues with safety and dignity in mind. The presentation will go over caregivers' affidavits, nominations of guardianship, the requirements for a probate legal guardianship, family law disputes, what parents need to have in place to reunify, and commonly asked questions for both parents and caregivers.
