The Center for Divorce Education's “Children in Between” online program is the Court's only approved provider of the education. It focuses on building a healthy co-parenting relationship and improving outcomes for your children.

You do not need a court order to take the course, and classes are available completely online.

The course is available in Spanish (el curso es accessible en Español) at https://online.divorce-education.com/es.

File your Certificate of Completion

Once you complete the course, you will get a Certificate of Completion that you can download and print.

You must file the Certificate of Completion with the Clerk of Courts two weeks before your final hearing.

You are responsible for filing the Certificate with the Clerk to make sure that it's entered into the case record.
