Who needs to take a co-parenting class in California?

Learn who is required to complete a co-parenting education course in California family court proceedings.

Updated over a week ago

Many California family courts require both parents to complete a co-parenting education course. The goal is to help parents reduce conflict, communicate more effectively, and keep children out of the middle of disputes. They're most common when custody or visitation is contested or when there's evidence of high conflict between parents.

This course is designed for parents who are separating, divorcing, or involved in custody proceedings in California. Check with your specific court or attorney to confirm if you're required to take this course.
