A course for the entire family
When parents dispute custody or parenting time in court, Minnesota requires that the parents attend a parenting education class.
Over the last 30+ years we've helped thousands of families experiencing divorce, separation, or a change in custody improve their self-care, parent-child relationships, and co-parenting relationships.
