What Your Order Might Say
Different courts use different names for the same requirement. If your paperwork says any of these, you are in the right place:
"Parent Education and Family Stabilization"
Florida’s statutory name under FL Stat. § 61.21. Our class is DCF-approved in Florida and covers all eight mandatory components.
"Parent Education Class" or "Parent Education Program"
The wording common in Ohio, Massachusetts, and many district and superior courts. It means education on how divorce and conflict affect children, which is exactly what this class teaches.
"Parenting Course" or "Co-Parenting Seminar"
Other courts use these names for the same requirement. Whatever your order calls it, the content courts want is the same: children first, conflict down, communication up.
What the Class Teaches
The parent education content courts expect, built around your children:
- How separation and conflict affect children at every age
- Child developmental stages and what to expect at each one
- Communication and dispute resolution between parents
- Parenting time and visitation guidelines
- Reducing stress on children during family transitions
- Cooperative parenting going forward

See What the Certificate IncludesParent Education Questions, Answered
My order says "parent education course." Is this it?
Yes. Parent education is the formal term many courts use for the class divorcing and separating parents must complete. Putting Kids First is the original online class satisfying these orders, approved by courts nationwide since 1993. Check your order for any county-specific provider list, and contact info@puttingkidsfirst.org if you want us to confirm anything first.
How long does the course take?
About 4 hours of total time across 15 short lessons, fully self-paced. Start on your phone, finish on your laptop, take breaks whenever you need. Many parents finish the same day they enroll.
Will I get proof of completion for the court?
Yes. The certificate of completion is generated the moment you finish, with your legal name, court state and county, and case number. It carries a QR code the court scans to verify it instantly, and a copy goes to your attorney automatically if you provide their email.
Does this satisfy Florida’s Parent Education and Family Stabilization requirement?
Yes. Our class is approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families under FL Stat. § 61.21 in all 67 counties. It covers all eight components required by Florida Administrative Code Rule 65C-32.003.
Do both parents take the same course?
Most orders require each parent to complete the class separately. Each parent enrolls individually and the court receives a separate certificate for each.
What if my county has its own provider list?
Some counties maintain lists of local providers. Our class is approved by courts nationwide, and your state page shows exactly how your state handles parent education requirements. When in doubt, send us your order at info@puttingkidsfirst.org and we will point you the right way.
