A statewide coalition of immigration and family law experts compiled a series of legal reference guides in 2017 on the complex intersection of family court issues and federal immigration laws, policy, and enforcement. We have updated these guides in 2024 with current guidance.
These legal reference guides are created for all who use the courts. We focus on providing members of the NYS judiciary and court personnel with an accessible resource that presents the important role of state court judges. The materials are also useful for attorneys, community organizations, nonprofits, government agencies and the public.
