Parenting Classes

Parent Education Classes - Parents of minor children involved in domestic relations actions such as separation, divorce, or paternity issues are required to complete a parent information program. These classes are intended to help parents learn about the impact of divorce and separation on their children. Parents will also learn how to recognize when their children are having emotional problems due to the divorce, what they can do to help their children adjust, and how to co-parent with their ex. After parents finish the course, they will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate is required before any case involving minor children will be finalized.

  • Maricopa County - (602) 506-1561
