Under Texas Family Code § 105.009, Texas courts may order parents to complete a Parent Education and Family Stabilization Class in divorce, modification, and other suits affecting the parent-child relationship when the court determines it's in the best interest of the child. Texas judges routinely include this requirement in cases involving minor children across all 254 counties.
The class covers the nine topics specified in § 105.009, including emotional effects of divorce on parents and children, parenting issues at different developmental stages, conflict management, and development of a co-parenting relationship. Texas law explicitly authorizes online completion through "instruction through an electronic medium" under § 105.009(h)(3), making our 4-hour online class fully compliant with state requirements.
Both parents typically must complete the class separately. Your certificate includes instant QR verification and states your completion method as required by Texas law, ensuring acceptance by courts statewide.
Texas Family Code § 105.009 gives judges discretion to order the Parent Education and Family Stabilization Class when they determine it serves the child's best interest, making it a common requirement in family court proceedings statewide.
