Under 22 NYCRR Part 144, New York courts may order parents to complete a Parent Education and Awareness Program (PEAP) in divorce, custody, separation, and other family law cases. New York judges routinely include this requirement when they determine it would benefit parents and children involved in the proceeding.
Our 4-hour online co-parenting class covers the required curriculum topics, including creating supportive parent-child relationships and protecting children from ongoing parental conflict. The class is self-paced and available 24/7, with instant certificate delivery upon completion. New York explicitly accepts online completion through certified providers.
Both parents must complete the class when ordered, but they cannot attend the same session per Part 144.3(b). Your certificate includes QR code verification and is accepted by New York courts statewide.
New York's Parent Education and Awareness Program operates under judicial discretion rather than automatic mandate. Courts consider factors like domestic violence history, financial hardship, and whether a parent previously completed the program when deciding whether to order attendance.
