Whether court-ordered for divorce, paternity, or custody, or referred by a caseworker or judge, our Co-Parenting and Parenting Classes meet every court and agency requirement.
If an Alachua County judge ordered you to take a parenting class in your Gainesville divorce, custody, or paternity case, our class is approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families and by the 8th Judicial Circuit Court, the circuit Alachua anchors alongside Bradford, Levy, Union, Gilchrist, and Baker counties.
Florida law (FL Stat. § 61.21) sets a 45-day deadline: from filing for petitioners, from service for everyone else. The Parent Education and Family Stabilization Class certificate must be on file before the final judgment, and the Alachua County clerk in Gainesville accepts ours.
The class is online, self-paced, and mobile-friendly and you can split it across evenings. The moment you finish the class, your certificate is emailed instantly with a QR verification code, and your attorney is notified.
