Delaware requires both parents to complete a parenting education class in divorce, annulment, and custody cases under 13 Del.C. § 1507(h) and Family Court Rule 16.4. The mandatory 4-hour class must be completed through a program certified by the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families (DSCYF).
Our online class covers all six required topics: developmental stages of children, adjustment to parental separation, dispute resolution and conflict management, visitation guidelines, stress reduction in children, and cooperative parenting. Delaware explicitly accepts online completion, making our self-paced format ideal for busy parents.
Both parents must complete the class, though they may attend separate sessions. Upon completion, you'll receive an instant certificate with QR verification that satisfies Delaware's DSCYF certification requirements.
Delaware Family Courts implement the parenting education requirement through preliminary injunctions served when divorce or custody petitions are filed. The state maintains a strict certification system through DSCYF to ensure all courses meet the statutory content standards under § 1507(h).
