Event Outline

Adoption and guardianship matters often arise in complex family and caregiving situations, particularly in community and pro bono settings where children may be cared for informally, family arrangements are unstable, or caregivers face housing and immigration challenges. This module focuses on practical issues in adoption and guardianship matters encountered in community and family law practice, including the scope of the court’s wardship jurisdiction. Adopting a community-law focused approach, the session examines when guardianship may be sought as a practical solution, including situations where caregivers require legal status to access housing or other forms of support.
