Board-certified immigration attorney Ruby Powers joins Scott Berry to unpack the real-world intersection of immigration and family law. From screening checklists and FOIA fundamentals to I-864 obligations after divorce, Ruby outlines the issues family lawyers must spot early to protect clients. You will hear practical guidance on SIJS orders and drafting pitfalls, when VAWA, U visas, or T visas apply, how TPS shifts can upend strategy, and why citizenship can be more complex than it looks. Ruby also flags current courtroom and detention trends, re-calendaring challenges, and steps families should take now to prepare for emergencies.
If you serve mixed-status families or collaborate with immigration counsel, this conversation will help you deliver better outcomes and avoid costly missteps.
