All parties to a dissolution of marriage proceeding with minor children or a paternity action that involves issues of parental responsibility shall be required to complete the 4  hour Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course prior to the entry by the court of a final judgment.  We encourage parents who are even just considering separating or divorcing to take our course.
