Under Wis. Stat. § 767.401, Wisconsin courts are authorized to order parents to complete a 4-hour educational program in actions affecting the family involving minor children. Wisconsin judges routinely include this requirement in cases involving divorce, legal separation, annulment, paternity, and custody modifications.
Our online co-parenting class covers all topics required by Wisconsin statute: the effects of divorce on children, parenting and coparenting skills, child development, family dynamics, how parental separation affects child development, and strategies to reduce stress for children in separated families. The class is self-paced and can be completed entirely online with instant certificate delivery.
Both parents must typically complete the program, though the court may require separate attendance in cases involving domestic violence per § 767.401(1)(a). Your certificate includes QR code verification and is accepted by Wisconsin courts statewide.
Wisconsin Statute § 767.401 grants family courts broad discretion to order parent education as a condition precedent to granting final judgment. While the statute uses permissive language, most Wisconsin counties routinely require completion for all cases involving minor children.
