Tennessee requires both parents to complete a Parent Educational Seminar as soon as possible after filing for divorce or custody under T.C.A. § 36-6-408. This applies to any case where a permanent parenting plan is or will be entered, including divorce, legal separation, and custody modifications.
The seminar must be at least 4 hours and cover specific content including adverse childhood experiences, alternative dispute resolution, and domestic violence awareness. Our online class meets Tennessee's statutory requirements and is accepted statewide.
Both parents must complete the seminar separately. Upon completion, you'll receive an instant certificate with QR verification that satisfies Tennessee's requirement under § 36-6-408.
Tennessee courts use the Parent Educational Seminar as a prerequisite to parenting plan proceedings under T.C.A. § 36-6-408. The requirement is mandatory statewide, though individual judicial districts certify their own accepted providers and some counties maintain specific provider lists.
