In Illinois, the co-parenting class is mandatory. The Illinois Supreme Court requires all parents with minor children going through a divorce to complete a parenting education program of at least 4 hours — no exceptions. Whether you are going through a divorce, a custody case, or a modification of an existing order, you must complete this class. Our online co-parenting class meets this requirement. Complete it from your phone, at your own pace, and receive your certificate instantly.
Illinois Supreme Court Rule 924 and Section 404.1 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (750 ILCS 5/404.1) require both parents to complete a parenting education program.

Illinois is one of the states where the co-parenting class is mandatory by order of the state Supreme Court — it is not optional. Rule 924 requires each circuit or county to approve a parenting education program of at least 4 hours. Parents must complete the class within 60 days of the initial case management conference. In Cook County, a final judgment cannot be entered without the certificate of completion.
