If your family member was detained by ICE and told there's no bond hearing available, that information may now be outdated. Federal appeals courts have ruled that the government's mandatory detention policy was illegal, at least in several circuits. In June, July, and August 2026, the Tenth, Ninth, and Third Circuit Courts overturned the government's shift to locking up longtime U.S. residents without bond hearings, even when they have family, employment, and community roots.

The ruling directly applies to detainees in Utah, Colorado, Washington, Pennsylvania, and other specific regions. Time is critical: if your family member is still detained without a hearing, you need to act now. The location where they're detained determines whether these new rulings apply to their case.

Meet Maria, Paralegal & Client Relations at Richards & Richards!

Born and raised in Brazil, Maria brings a warm and welcoming perspective to everything she does at the firm. Her dedication to helping clients and supporting the team is matched by her love for family, travel, and the outdoors.

When she's not at the office, you'll find Maria camping, hiking, traveling to Brazil to visit family, watching soccer, scrapbooking, or enjoying a good movie. She dreams of one day traveling to Italy, and, of course, her favorite color is pink! 💗

In Utah, one number shapes more than the label on your custody order. The 111-overnight rule determines whether the court classifies your arrangement as joint or sole physical custody, and that distinction changes everything.

Joint physical custody means your child has at least 111 overnights per year with each parent, which works out to more than 30% of the year. Cross that threshold, and the arrangement is sole physical custody with parent-time for the other parent.

Why does it matter? Because that threshold affects which child support worksheet applies under Utah Code § 81-6-206. It determines which formula the court uses and how the payment itself is calculated. It's not just a label, it's a legal threshold built into Utah's child support structure.

Here's what we see repeatedly: clients who choose their immigration attorney based on the lowest price regret it. Cheap representation in immigration frequently means missed deadlines, incomplete paperwork, and cases that could have been won but weren't. The cost you pay upfront is not the real cost, the real cost is what happens to your case. Work with someone who will assess your situation honestly, explain your options, and charge fairly for thorough work.

Meet Roy Cole, an attorney at Richards & Richards.

Roy was born in Anaheim, California, and moved to Ogden in the fifth grade. Utah has been home ever since. Growing up, Roy learned Spanish and remains fluent today, allowing him to communicate directly with many of the clients he serves.

Before becoming an attorney, Roy served eight years in the United States Army, working in Military Intelligence with a focus on interrogation, PSYOPs, and counterintelligence. That experience helped develop the discipline, focus, and ability to remain calm under pressure that he brings to his legal practice.

Roy has now been practicing law for 27 years and has overseen more than 15,000 cases throughout his career. He is known for his diligence, experience, and steady judgment.

Outside of the office, family is at the center of Roy's life. He is a proud father of seven children in a joint family and grandfather to five grandchildren.

We're proud to have Roy's experience and dedication as part of the Richards & Richards team.
