Whether court-ordered for divorce or custody, or referred by a caseworker, our Co-Parenting and Parenting Classes meet every court and agency requirement.
If a judge ordered a parenting class in your Tampa divorce, custody, or paternity case, our class is approved by the Hillsborough County Circuit Court (13th Judicial Circuit) and by family courts across Florida. Parents in Tampa have used The Original for years because it works the way a court deadline demands: enroll now, start in minutes, and finish today if you need to.
Tampa parents file in the Hillsborough County Circuit Court under Florida Statute 61.21, and our statewide approval from the Florida Department of Children and Families covers every one of those cases. Your Tampa attorney gets notified the moment you finish, at no extra charge.
Tampa family cases are handled at the county level: divorce, custody, and paternity filings for Tampa parents go through the Hillsborough County Circuit Court (13th Judicial Circuit) in Hillsborough County. Under FL Stat. § 61.21, Florida family courts order parent-education completion in cases affecting minor children, and our class is structured to meet every requirement of that statute. Your certificate prints the completion timestamp clerks need to mark the requirement satisfied.
The class is online and self-paced, on any phone, tablet, or computer. The moment you finish, the certificate is emailed instantly with a QR verification code, and your attorney is notified at no extra charge so they can file it without chasing you down.
