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.
You are separated or divorced and the conflict between you is manageable
Your order or agreement concerns communication and cooperation with your child's other parent, rather than concerns about your own parenting
You are working through a custody arrangement, parenting agreement, or mediation
Your order names Parenting Together, co-parenting education, or a collaborative parenting course
You want practical skills in communication, boundaries, shared decisions, and keeping your child out of the middle
EXPLORE OTHER PARENTING OPTIONS
Best for general parenting education. Build practical skills in child development, communication, discipline, boundaries, and everyday parenting.
Best when concerns were raised about parenting behaviours or a child's safety. Focuses on recognizing harmful patterns and developing safer, healthier parenting practices.
Best for separated parents with ongoing conflict. Build practical skills in managing conflict, emotional reactions, boundaries, and protecting children from disputes.

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 mediator told you to complete a co-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 co-parenting classes near you and found waiting lists and long drives.
Family court wants documentation before your next hearing.
You are working through a custody or parenting agreement and need to show completed education.
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 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 co-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.

REVIEWS



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, eight hours each day. The co-parenting course online takes 20 hours or more at your own pace. Parenting Together therapy is twenty weekly sessions, about twenty weeks, 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, lawyer or mediator sets their own rules. Confirm before you enroll and we will help you check.
Conflict level. Parenting Together – Co-parenting in Low-Conflict Separation suits separated parents who can still communicate reasonably, even when things are strained. Parenting Together Through Separation – Co-parenting in High-Conflict Situations is built for frequent or intense conflict, and focuses on managing it and keeping children out of the middle. If you are unsure which describes your situation, send us your order and we will tell you.
Not for you if there is family violence or a protection order between you, if your court named a provider we are not on or a program we do not run, if your order requires in-person attendance, if you cannot commit to full 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, and is issued only after full attendance and approval of your assignments. Therapy clients also receive a two to three page progress summary, and additional letters are available for courts or legal counsel 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.
