Welcome to Parenting Florida
We understand that going through a divorce is an emotionally taxing and life-altering experience, especially when children are involved. To help divorcing parents meet their legal obligations and navigate this difficult transition, we offer the Florida Parenting Class, a DCF-approved online course accepted by courts throughout the State of Florida. Our mission is to make this mandatory class as accessible, convenient, and informative as possible, so you can focus on what matters most—your family's well-being.
Our course is tailored for parents who are required by Florida law to complete a Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course as part of their divorce proceedings. The course is designed not just to meet legal requirements but to provide parents with the skills and knowledge they need to help their children cope with the challenges of divorce. We cover topics such as co-parenting, managing conflict, child development, and more.
What is the Florida Parenting Class?
The Florida Parenting Class is a four-hour online course approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). This class is a legal requirement for all divorcing parents with minor children in the state of Florida. It serves two main purposes:
- To fulfill legal obligations: Florida law mandates that parents with minor children must complete a Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course before their divorce can be finalized.
- To benefit children: The course helps parents understand the impact of divorce on their children and equips them with strategies to make the transition as smooth as possible for their kids.
The course is offered 100% online, making it convenient and accessible no matter where you are. You can complete it at your own pace, at a time that suits your schedule. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate that can be submitted to the court as proof of fulfillment of your legal requirement.
Why is the Florida Parenting Class Important?
Divorce can be a turbulent time for families, especially when children are involved. Research has shown that children of divorced parents are at a higher risk of emotional and behavioral issues. The Florida Parenting Class was created to mitigate these effects by helping parents understand the importance of maintaining a stable, supportive environment for their children during and after the divorce.
The class covers critical topics such as:
- Child Development: Understanding how children at different stages of development perceive and are affected by divorce.
- Co-Parenting Strategies: Learning how to co-parent effectively, even when emotions are running high, to provide your child with a sense of stability and security.
- Managing Conflict: How to reduce conflict with your co-parent and create a healthy environment for your children.
- Legal Responsibilities: Understanding the legal requirements of divorce in Florida, including custody, visitation, and child support.
