Undocumented but Not Powerless: Legal Strategies for Parents in the U.S.

In this gripping episode of The Modern Arizona Podcast, family law attorney Billie Tarascio is joined by nationally recognized immigration attorney Hillary Walsh from New Frontier Immigration Law to break down the complex—and often misunderstood—intersection of immigration and family law.

➡️ Whether you’re undocumented, in the middle of a divorce, or fighting for custody of your children, this episode is packed with life-saving legal insights you won’t hear anywhere else.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

• What happens to your immigration status if you get divorced
• How to protect yourself if your spouse threatens deportation
• The legal power of VAWA, U Visas, and T Visas
• How undocumented parents can still get custody
• Why “extreme cruelty” in immigration law is broader than you think
• The real-world impact of protective orders on immigration
• How to plan if you're facing possible removal or detention

📍 This episode dives deep into the legal definitions of coercive control, emotional abuse, and power dynamics that—while overlooked in family court—can be critical to immigration relief. Hillary’s firsthand experiences and powerful advocacy illuminate options for people in impossible situations.
