Parties are required by §61.21, Florida Statutes, to attend a “Parent Education and Family Stabilization” course, which must be completed prior to entry of the final judgment of dissolution of marriage. The course may be taken online or in a local class and information is available online, through the Clerk of Court, or from our offices. The course is approximately four hours long and must be approved by the Department of Children and Families. At the end of the completed course, you will be issued a certificate of completion, which must be filed in your divorce case.
