CO immigration and divorce law, husband is illegal immigrant does he have rights to our child will he be deported

Asked over 3 years ago - Longmont, CO

Hello - I am seeking information on a Dissolution of Marriage from my husband who is an illegal alien. We were married in MN, we have a minor child, and I would like to know what rights he has, regarding a Parenting Plan, changing her name (I want her to have my maiden name), etc. He is unreliable (moves without telling me, may be deported, etc.), and I won't agree to anything but supervised visits (he still lives in MN). Please, any information you can give me, will be of great help.

In my state (FL), a parents immigration status generally has no bearing on child custody issues, although the Judge may take the status into consideration when determining what is best for the child. Because you are in Colorado, and the child is in Colorado, you should go see a family lawyer in Colorado, as they will be best able to help you with your family law questions.
