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 attend a Parent Education Class sponsored through the court.  

This is the only official parenting class for divorce, paternity and custody modifications
​in cooperation with the St. Louis County Courts.



  • The class is one session that lasts approximately 2 1/2 hours. 
  • It is a classroom setting.  An instructor will give a lecture assisting parents  in understanding the divorce process and its impact on adults and children of all ages.
  • The instructor will discuss strategies to assist parents in responding appropriately to each other and their children.
  • We will provide an informational booklet and list of community resources available to assist divorcing families.
  • The cost for the class is $50 payable at the time of class (cash/money order only).
  • The participant will receive a receipt and certificate of attendance at the class. Attendance is reported to the St. Louis County Courts.
  • Both the petitioner and the respondent are required to attend. However, due to security reasons, you cannot attend the class at the same time and must schedule separate classes.
  • We offer several locations in St. Louis County to choose from.  Classes are offered during the week in the evening, and occasionally on Saturday mornings.
  • Online classes are not acceptable by the St. Louis County Courts at this time.
