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 accepted in 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-accepted certificate with QR verification is emailed to you, and your attorney is notified at no extra charge.
