Parenting Course for Divorce in Florida

This is the online version of our Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course, which is approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), and satisfies the requirements of all Family Courts in Florida.

Under Florida Statutes 61.21; if you are divorcing and have minor children, or involved in a paternity case with minor children, you must complete at least a four (4) hour Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course, approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families, prior to obtaining a divorce. Generally you have 45 days from the date you filed for divorce, or was served with divorce papers, to take this course.

So, if you are going through a divorce (or a paternity action) and have minor children, you have found the right course.
