Under C.R.S. § 14-10-123.7, Colorado courts are authorized to order parents to complete a parental education program in divorce, legal separation, and parental responsibility cases. While the statute uses permissive language, nearly all 22 judicial districts treat co-parenting education as mandatory in practice for cases involving minor children. The Colorado Judicial Branch's own pages for multiple districts state that "all parties with minor children must attend a court-accepted parenting class."
