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 a Marion County judge ordered you to complete a parenting class in your divorce, custody, or paternity case, you're on the right page. Our class is approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families and by the 5th Judicial Circuit Court in Ocala — the same court that issued your order.
Florida law (FL Stat. § 61.21) gives petitioners 45 days from filing to complete the Parent Education and Family Stabilization Class. Other parties have 45 days from service. Proof of completion must be on file before the final judgment, and the Marion County clerk accepts our certificate without exception.
You can finish the class entirely online, at your own pace, from any device. The moment you finish the class, your court-approved certificate with QR verification is emailed to you, and your attorney is notified.
Of the more than 1,000,000 parents who have enrolled with Putting Kids First, an estimated 1,463 came from Marion County, part of the 103,019 Florida parents on our Florida page.

Marion County FAQs
Yes. Marion County is part of Florida's 5th Judicial Circuit, and our class is DCF-approved statewide under FL Stat. § 61.21. The Ocala clerk's office accepts our certificate as proof of completion.
Instantly. The moment you finish the class, your certificate is generated with a QR verification code and emailed to you. You can also download it directly from your dashboard.
Easily. Most parents in Marion County complete the class at their own pace over a few sittings. You can start tonight and have your certificate filed in the courthouse well before the 45-day cutoff.
Florida statute requires all parties to complete the class, but you do not have to attend together. Many co-parents take the class separately at different times. Courts may require separate attendance when domestic violence is involved.
Yes. Free attorney notification is included — we email your attorney the moment you complete the class so they can file your proof of completion with the 5th Circuit Court immediately.
The class itself is approved for family courts throughout Florida, but each certificate is tied to the case it was issued for. If you have a separate case, that case needs its own enrollment. Re-enroll, complete the class again, and a fresh certificate is issued for the new case, so each judge sees proof that belongs to their courtroom.
