How to Verify with Your Court

  1. Find your court's website
    Visit California Courts website to find your local court
  2. Look for Family Law Self-Help
    Most courts have a self-help section with co-parenting education info
  3. Call the Family Law Facilitator
    Ask: "Do you accept online co-parenting courses?" and "Is Together for Kids on your approved list?"
  4. Get it in writing if possible
    Some courts provide written lists of approved providers

Pro tip: Most court clerks are helpful! Just tell them you need to complete co-parenting education.

Common Questions

What if my court doesn't accept online courses? โ–ผ

Some courts require in-person attendance. If your court requires in-person classes, you'll need to find a local provider. Since we only charge after you complete the course, there's no financial risk in starting - you can simply stop if you discover your court won't accept online courses.

Do you submit certificates directly to the court? โ–ผ

No, you are responsible for submitting your certificate to the court. After completion, you'll download your certificate and submit it according to your court's procedures. Most courts accept certificates filed with other case documents.

How long is the certificate valid? โ–ผ

Your certificate doesn't expire, but some courts may require recent completion (within 6-12 months). Check with your court about any time limitations for submitting your certificate.

What if I'm taking this course from another state? โ–ผ

You can complete our course from anywhere with internet access. This is helpful if you've relocated but still have California court requirements. The course content focuses on California law and standards.
