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 parenting class order from a Sumter County judge doesn't have to slow your case down. Our class is approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families and by the 5th Judicial Circuit Court in Bushnell, the same circuit that covers Lake, Citrus, Hernando, and Marion counties.
The deadline comes from state law. FL Stat. § 61.21 requires petitioners to complete the Parent Education and Family Stabilization Class within 45 days of filing; other parties have 45 days from service. File your certificate before the final judgment, and know that the Sumter County clerk in Bushnell accepts ours.
You take the class online, on your schedule, from any device. It runs at your own pace, self-paced, with your progress saved as you go. Finish the class and your certificate arrives by email that instant, complete with QR verification, and your attorney is notified.
Of the more than 1,000,000 parents who have enrolled with Putting Kids First, an estimated 480 came from Sumter County, part of the 103,019 Florida parents on our Florida page.

Sumter County FAQs
Yes. Our class is DCF-approved for the 5th Judicial Circuit Court, which includes Sumter County. Under FL Stat. § 61.21 the Bushnell clerk's office accepts our certificate as proof of completion.
FL Stat. § 61.21 gives the petitioner 45 days from filing the case, and every other party 45 days from being served. At your own pace, most Sumter County parents finish with weeks to spare.
The instant you finish the class. Your certificate is generated with a QR verification code, emailed to you immediately, and available in your dashboard for download whenever you need another copy.
Yes. Free attorney notification is built in. We email your attorney your certificate and verification link the moment you finish, so filing with the 5th Circuit Court can happen the same day.
No. Florida statute requires all parties to complete the class, but each parent registers and attends separately, on separate schedules. Courts may specifically require separate attendance in cases involving domestic violence.
One certificate serves one case. That is how Florida courts expect it, and it protects you: the proof you file matches the case the judge is handling. If a second case comes up, re-enroll for that case and you will receive its own certificate the moment you finish.
