The Florida Parent Education Course does not report your completion to the court. You must submit your certificate to the court handling your case.
If you are completing the Florida Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course for a divorce or paternity case, you may wonder how your certificate gets to the court. Understanding your responsibilities helps you avoid delays or issues with your case.
How to Submit Your Florida Parent Education Course Certificate
After you finish the Florida Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course, Divorce Parenting Class emails your certificate to you as a PDF. You are responsible for submitting this certificate to the court that is handling your divorce or paternity case. Contact your court or your attorney to confirm the preferred submission method. Courts may accept certificates by mail, fax, email, or in person. Each court may have different requirements, so always check for specific instructions.
Why the Course Provider Does Not Report to the Court
Florida law requires each parent to submit their own certificate directly to the court. Divorce Parenting Class cannot submit certificates for you. This process ensures that both parents are responsible for meeting court requirements. For more information about state requirements, visit the Florida Department of Children and Families’ official website: Florida Department of Children and Families.
