Allows parents or legal custodians separated from their children because of immigration matters to appoint standby guardians.

This bill allows parents or legal custodians separated from their children due to immigration matters (such as arrest, detention, incarceration, or removal) to appoint a standby guardian to care for their children. It amends New Jersey law to include "administrative separation" as a triggering event for standby guardianship, alongside death, incapacity, or debilitation. Parents can petition the court for appointment of a standby guardian or create a written designation naming a standby guardian without needing to provide documentation of impending immigration separation. The standby guardian must petition the court for confirmation within 60 days, providing a determination of administrative separation.
