Under Maryland Family Law § 7-103.2, Maryland courts may order parents to complete a parenting class in family and custody matters involving child support, custody, or visitation issues. Maryland judges routinely include this requirement to help parents understand how to minimize the impact of family changes on their children.
Our class is designed to educate parents about the effects of family separation on children and provide tools for effective co-parenting. The class is accepted by courts across all 24 Maryland circuit courts and can be completed entirely online. Maryland law specifically allows educational seminars to be provided by private agencies, and online completion is accepted statewide.
Both parents typically must complete the seminar when ordered by the court. You'll receive an instant certificate upon completion that meets Maryland's requirements under Rule 9-204.
Maryland Family Law § 7-103.2 gives circuit court judges discretion to order parent education in family and custody matters involving children. While the statute uses permissive language, Maryland courts across all 24 circuits routinely exercise this authority to ensure parents understand their children's needs during family transitions.
