Please Note: Your health and safety is very important to us! Due to the public health crisis of COVID 19, face-to-face parenting classes will be cancelled until further notice. Per the St. Louis County courts, you may now take our online class to meet your parenting class requirement. Please note that we are the ONLY online parenting class in cooperation with/sponsored by the St. Louis County Courts for divorce, paternity and custody modifications. 

To take this class, please:

1. Register using the "Sign Up For A Class" tab above or call the office, and
2. Pay for your class using the "Pay For A Class" tab above. 

Once we receive payment, we will send you an email with a link to the class (within 48 hours). Please be sure to look for it.

The Family Court of St. Louis County requires that all parents who are seeking a divorce, legal separation, paternity or custody order, or modification order and who have in common, at least one child under the age of 19 years, must complete a Parent Education Class sponsored through the court.  





Info for On-Line Classes:
  • With the online class, information will be presented in a presentation & video format as well as a list of resources and links available to assist families. 
  • It is very important to complete the survey at the end of the on-line class. Once we have received a completed survey, we will send you a copy of a certificate showing that you have completed the class. A copy of the Certificate of Completion will be sent to you via email at the address provided and a copy will be filed with the courts.
