Parent Education Programs
All parents who are seeking a divorce in Massachusetts are required to attend a parent education program. The following is a list of approved programs that offer this class. After you attend the class, you will receive a certificate of completion that both parties must file with the Court as part of their divorce papers. You do not have to attend with your spouse. The purpose of the class is to better help parents understand the effect of divorce on children and help ease children through the process, as well.
