Parenting Classes for Divorcing Parents

Judges may require parents with minor children to attend an educational program on the effects of marital separation on children. The most common programs throughout the state are "Co-Parenting through Divorce" and "Helping Children Cope with Divorce". These are workshops designed to help parents learn to recognize their children's reaction to the situation and discover ways to lessen the impact and co-parent more effectively.

Workshops are held throughout the state and you can get more information by contacting your local court system. Below are some of the various programs available:
