Under D.C. Code § 16-914(d)(3), District of Columbia courts may order parents to complete parenting classes in custody cases. DC Superior Court judges routinely include this requirement when they determine it would benefit the family or children involved.
Our comprehensive co-parenting class covers communication strategies, child development, and conflict resolution — topics that help parents navigate post-divorce parenting successfully. The class is available online and self-paced, allowing you to complete it on your schedule. Since DC law doesn't specify required hours, our 4-hour class provides thorough coverage while respecting your time.
Both parents may be required to complete the class, depending on your judge's order. Upon completion, you'll receive an instant certificate with QR verification that's accepted by DC Superior Court.
DC Superior Court's Family Court Operations Division has broad discretion under D.C. Code § 16-914(d)(3) to order parenting classes when judges believe they would benefit families going through custody proceedings.
