Situation Mapping: Which Divorce Scenario Applies to You?

Situation Custody Status Visa Risk Level
Mutual divorce with shared custody Joint agreement Low–Medium
Divorce due to spouse fault Foreign spouse primary caregiver Case-dependent
Loss of custody No caregiving role High

Authority Logic: How Immigration Connects Custody and Residency

Immigration officers evaluate whether the foreign parent maintains genuine child-rearing responsibility. Financial support alone is usually insufficient without active caregiving evidence.

Exact Professional Action Plan

  1. Secure official custody documentation
  2. Document school involvement and residence stability
  3. Prepare financial support proof
  4. Consult immigration before visa renewal

Common Failure Pattern

Parents assume divorce automatically cancels status or guarantees extension. Both assumptions are incorrect.
