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.
A Manatee County parenting class order comes with a real deadline, and this class was built to meet it. We are approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families and by the 12th Judicial Circuit Court in Bradenton, the circuit Manatee shares with Sarasota and DeSoto counties.
Here is the timing under FL Stat. § 61.21: if you filed the case, you have 45 days from filing to complete the Parent Education and Family Stabilization Class; if you were served, you have 45 days from service. Proof of completion goes on file before the final judgment, and the Manatee County clerk in Bradenton accepts our certificate.
The class runs entirely online at your own pace, from any device. Finish the class and your certificate with QR verification is emailed that instant, with your attorney notified.
Of the more than 1,000,000 parents who have enrolled with Putting Kids First, an estimated 1,429 came from Manatee County, part of the 103,019 Florida parents on our Florida page.
