Utah requires both parents to complete a mandatory parenting class in divorce and custody cases under Utah Code § 81-9-103. This requirement applies statewide across all judicial districts for married parties in divorce actions and unmarried parties in parentage actions determining child custody and parent-time. The court cannot grant a divorce decree until both parties present certificates of completion.
Our online co-parenting class satisfies Utah's mandatory parenting class requirement. Under UCJA Rule 4-907, parties may complete the class through interactive online delivery. The class covers the impact of court proceedings on children, family relationships, financial responsibilities, and domestic violence awareness—exactly as required by § 81-9-103.
Both parents must complete the class before the court will hear motions related to custody or parent-time. Our self-paced online format allows you to complete Utah's requirement on your schedule, with instant certificate delivery upon completion.
Utah Code § 81-9-103 mandates parenting courses in all judicial districts for cases involving minor children. The court cannot proceed with divorce or custody orders until both parties complete the required courses and present certificates of completion per § 81-4-406.
