What if I have a background of domestic violence?
A: Every person over many years who has asked this question have told us that a judge has instructed them to attend co-parenting class together even if there is a restraining order. Please let us know prior to taking your class if you have a current restraining order.
Is there any work required between the three Co-Parenting classes?
A: Yes. You will be given “homework” to do at home, including some activities with your children, depending on their ages. You will also complete fill-ins based on the text you will be given in the class. All homework must be completed by the end of the third and final Co-Parenting class in order to receive a Graduation Certificate. If the homework is incomplete, we provide a 30-day grace period to complete homework. Beyond the 30-day grace period, a fee may be assessed or the course may need to be repeated.
Will I be interacting directly with my co-parent in the Co-Parenting class? Yes.
In Part B and Part C (if recommended) you will be interacting directly with your co-parent. If you and your co-parent are not communicating, or not communicating well, we understand this may be uncomfortable. In Part B, we discuss and teach communication techniques that will enable you and your co-parent to effectively exchange information that is important to you and your children.
