At Figeroux & Associates, located at 26 Court Street, Suite 701, Brooklyn, NY 11242, the firm recognizes that for immigrants, family law is more than just resolving legal disputes — it’s about safeguarding the foundation of their lives in the United States. Family law issues frequently intersect with immigration status, making knowledgeable, compassionate, and strategic representation critical.
Immigrants often seek legal assistance for marriage-based green card petitions, fiancé(e) visa applications, divorce proceedings, and child custody disputes. Each of these legal matters can directly impact a person’s ability to secure or maintain lawful immigration status. At Figeroux & Associates, the attorneys are deeply aware of the immigration consequences tied to every family law decision and are committed to protecting both their clients’ family interests and their legal status.
For many immigrants, marriage-based petitions represent a primary pathway to permanent residency. However, the process is complex and fraught with potential pitfalls. USCIS scrutinizes marriage petitions for fraud, and without strong legal guidance, couples can face delays, denials, or even accusations of misrepresentation. Figeroux & Associates ensures that marriage-based green card cases are meticulously prepared, with extensive documentation and strategic counseling to give clients the best chance at success.
Similarly, fiancé(e) visa applications (K-1 visas) involve intricate procedural steps, from proving a bona fide relationship to meeting strict financial sponsorship requirements. The attorneys at Figeroux & Associates assist clients at every stage, ensuring compliance with immigration laws while protecting personal rights.
Unfortunately, not all marriages last — and in some cases, relationships turn abusive. Immigrants who experience domestic violence are especially vulnerable, as their immigration status may be tied to their abuser. Figeroux & Associates provides critical representation for clients seeking protection under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which allows abused spouses of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to self-petition for their green card without their abuser’s cooperation. The firm also assists victims in pursuing U visas, which offer legal status to immigrants who are victims of crimes and assist law enforcement.
Family law for immigrants also includes crucial issues such as child custody, support, and guardianship. These matters are complicated when one or both parents have precarious immigration status or are facing deportation. Figeroux & Associates advocates fiercely to protect parental rights while ensuring that the best interests of the children remain the paramount consideration.
In addition, the firm helps immigrant families navigate adoption processes, ensuring that legal guardianship arrangements comply with both state and federal immigration laws, particularly when international issues are involved.
Figeroux & Associates offers immigrant families a lifeline during some of the most challenging times in their lives. With deep expertise in both family and immigration law, the firm provides holistic, sensitive, and strategic legal representation that protects families and secures futures.
