Arizona requires both parents to complete a parenting class in divorce, legal separation, annulment, and paternity cases involving minor children under A.R.S. § 25-351 through § 25-355. The statute establishes the Domestic Relations Education on Children's Issues Program, which superior courts in all 15 counties must implement. Both parents must complete the class as ordered by the court.
Our online class is approved statewide per Arizona Code of Judicial Administration § 3-202, which explicitly permits alternative delivery methods. The class covers all required topics mandated by Arizona law, including the effects of family separation on children, legal process options, mediation resources, and post-separation support services. Arizona's statute delegates specific program length to individual counties as established by the Arizona Supreme Court.
Upon completion, you'll receive an instant verifiable certificate that meets Arizona's compliance requirements under A.R.S. § 25-352. Arizona law makes completion of parent education a factor courts consider when determining legal decision-making arrangements under A.R.S. § 25-403(A)(10).
Arizona superior courts implement parent education programs under A.R.S. § 25-351, with the Arizona Supreme Court setting minimum standards through ACJA § 3-202. While the statute delegates administration to individual counties, all 15 Arizona counties maintain active parent education requirements for cases involving minor children.
