CAUGHT UP IN A COURT MATTER & NEED A PARENTING PROGRAM?
The goal isn’t just to finish a program. It’s to complete one that meets the courts' requirements.
CHOOSING YOUR PROGRAM
Watch the video to compare your options and find the program that best fits your requirements.
COMPARE YOUR PARENTING OPTIONS
“Complete a parenting program” can refer to different types of parenting education. The right choice depends on why you were referred and what your court, caseworker, or child protection agency requires.
Your referral involves a separation, divorce, or high-conflict co-parenting matter
Concerns involve ongoing conflict between parents and its impact on your child
You’re working toward healthier co-parenting, parallel parenting, or improved parenting communication
Your order specifically names Parenting Together After Divorce, parenting together through separation, co-parenting education, or a similar parenting intervention
You need a program focused on emotional regulation, BIFF communication, conflict cycles, child impact, gatekeeping, parallel parenting, and safety planning
EXPLORE OTHER PARENTING OPTIONS
Best for general parenting education. Build practical skills in child development, communication, discipline, boundaries, and everyday parenting.
Best for separated parents with lower conflict. Build practical skills in communication, cooperation, co-parenting, and keeping children’s needs first.
Best when concerns were raised about parenting behaviours or a child's safety. Focuses on recognizing harmful patterns and developing safer, healthier parenting practices.

WHO WE HELP
If you recognise yourself in even one of these, you are in the right place, and far from the first.
A judge, lawyer or case manager told you to complete a parenting program and gave you a date.
You have read the order three times and still cannot tell which parenting program it means.
You searched for parenting classes near you and found waiting lists and long drives.
Child protection or family court wants documentation before your next hearing.
You are working toward reunification or supervised visitation and need to show progress.
Nobody ordered you. You just know it's time for change.
WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON’T EXPECT
Your court order may simply say "complete a Parenting Together After Divorce program." But it may not tell you how many hours you need, which format qualifies, or what documentation you'll need when you're finished. And while you're trying to figure it out, your deadline keeps getting closer.
Asking means explaining why you need a parenting program. So you put it off another week, and another.
Your lawyer bills by the hour whether you've enrolled or not. Add time off work and the drive to a local class.
Your court rejected a cheap online parenting course. Now you pay twice!

Your court, case manager or child protection worker needs documentation they can verify. Court Counseling Institute provides a detailed completion letter with your instructor's name, professional credentials, signature, completed hours and dates, topics covered, and contact information for verification.

THE COURT COUNSELING INSTITUTE PROCESS
Four steps. Most people are enrolled in under five minutes, and can start the same day.

Pick your format
Online course, 1-day live class or therapy. Check your order names the one you choose, we will confirm it if you call.

Enroll and pay
Register in about four minutes. Live classes let you choose your date from the calendar.

Access & Start
Your confirmation and program details are emailed after registration. Complete your program.

Your letter arrives
Signed by your clinician, listing your dates, hours and topics. Three business days after you finish.
STILL NOT SURE?
We understand you may have questions about our programs. Here are answers to some of the most common ones:
It depends on the format your court accepts. Our live class runs three full days. The parenting course online takes 20 hours or more at your own pace. Parenting therapy is twenty weekly sessions, or faster if your court approves a more frequent schedule.
Our programs have been approved in courts across the U.S., Canada and Australia for close to twenty years. No provider is accepted everywhere, though, and every judge, case manager or child protection worker sets their own rules. Confirm before you enroll and we will help you check.
Four different things at CCI. If your order concerns how you and the other parent deal with each other, it usually means one of the co-parenting programs. If it concerns your own parenting behaviour, or comes from a child protection matter, it usually means Parenting with a Purpose. Foundations of Parenting covers general parenting support. Send us what your order says and we will tell you which one it is before you pay for anything.
Not for you if your case involves sexual assault charges, if your court named a provider we are not on or a parenting program we do not run, if your order requires in-person attendance, or if you want a certificate to buy rather than a program to complete. Ask us and we will tell you honestly.
A letter. It lists your dates, hours, topics covered and your clinician's credentials. Therapy clients also receive a detailed progress summary, and legal verification letters are available for courts or child protection agencies on request. Courts want a full document, and printable certificates are the most common reason people repeat a program.
Yes. All three formats run online start to finish, so there is nothing to travel to. No waiting lists, no time off work, and you can start today rather than waiting for a local intake date.
Yes. Many clients are ordered to complete more than one — often a parenting program alongside anger management, domestic violence, or substance abuse. Tell us what your order says and we will arrange the sequence and the paperwork so nothing is duplicated or missed.
