The Florida Parenting Class, also known as the Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course, is a state-mandated program designed for divorcing or separating parents with minor children. This course is approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) and is required before the finalization of any divorce involving children. The goal is to help parents understand the emotional and psychological impact of divorce on their children and provide them with the tools to support their children's adjustment.
The course covers a wide range of topics that are essential for parents navigating a divorce. These topics include:
Each module is designed to be practical and informative, giving parents the tools they need to navigate this difficult time in a way that minimizes stress on their children.
