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.

Of the more than 1,000,000 parents who have enrolled with Putting Kids First, an estimated 33,600 are Illinois parents.

If an Illinois court ordered you to complete a parenting education program, our class meets that requirement statewide across all 24 judicial circuits. Illinois requires both parents to complete a parenting education program in family and parentage cases involving minor children under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 924 and 750 ILCS 5/404.1. The requirement applies statewide, with completion mandated within 60 days after an initial case management conference.

Our class covers the required topics outlined in Rule 924, including parenting time and allocation of parental responsibilities and their impact on children. Online completion is approved by Illinois circuits statewide.

Both parents must complete the program, except in default cases where only the petitioning party initially needs to attend. Our online class is self-paced and provides an instant certificate upon completion to meet Illinois court requirements.

Illinois Supreme Court Rule 924 makes parenting education mandatory for all divorce cases involving children, requiring each judicial circuit to create or approve their own programs that meet the rule's standards.

I had a deadline hanging over me and was worried sick. Got it done in a few sittings and had my certificate before the week was out.

It was nice to just do this at home instead of driving somewhere. I went through most of it on my lunch breaks.

Michael T.

It really made me think about how all of this looks through my son's eyes. Worth it for that alone.
