Parental Reunification

Parental Reunification is a legal and social policy construct that refers to the formal process through which a parent is restored to cohabitation and custodial rights with their child following a period of involuntary or prolonged separation, distinguished from broader family reunification by its exclusive focus on the parent-child dyad and its alignment with child welfare, immigration, or post-conflict reintegration frameworks.
