Of the more than 1,000,000 parents who have enrolled with Putting Kids First, an estimated 28,711 are Virginia parents.

Virginia requires both parents to complete a Parent Education Seminar in contested custody, visitation, or support cases under Va. Code §§ 16.1-278.15 and 20-103. Parents must show proof of completion within 12 months prior to their court appearance or complete the class within 45 days thereafter.

Our online parenting class covers Virginia's required topics: the effects of family separation on children, parenting responsibilities, conflict resolution options, and financial responsibilities. The class is self-paced and available 24/7, allowing you to complete Virginia's requirement on your schedule.

Both natural and adoptive parents must complete the seminar, along with any person with a legitimate interest in the case. Upon completion, you'll receive an instant certificate with QR verification that satisfies Virginia's statutory requirement.

Virginia's dual statute system requires parent education seminars in contested cases across both Juvenile & Domestic Relations courts (§ 16.1-278.15) and Circuit courts (§ 20-103), with identical language ensuring statewide consistency.

“I let this sit on my to-do list until my court date got scary close, but I got through it in a weekend and had proof in hand the same night. Big relief.”

Jennifer K.

“This was a really good class. It gave me actual tools for talking with my kids about what was happening instead of just avoiding it, and my lawyer told me she already had everything before I could forward it.”

David M.

“Between work and the kids I barely have a spare hour, so being able to do a little each night on my phone made all the difference. It just fit into my life.”
