What will the Will County Parenting Class teach me?

The classes do not teach you how to parent, rather the class provides information to help your child or children through the divorce or separation. The class is a workshop and not a counseling session and it is recommended that parents of the same family attend separately. You should prepare by having a pen and paper to take helpful notes although there is currently no exam. Please contact to provider for the most up to date information.

How will anyone know if I attend the Will County Parenting Class?

A divorce will not be finalized by the judge unless both parties attend the program. Please note there is a fee to attend the class so be prepared to pay the fee. At the end of the program, you will receive a certificate of completion. It is your responsibility to make sure that our office receives a copy of the certificate so that we can tender the certificate to the court. Feel free to email, fax, or upload the certificate to your private Clio folder.
