Parents Forever is a research-based educational program designed to help parents through the process of making informed, child-supportive decisions during separation and divorce, resulting in healthy children and positive parent-child relationships.
Participant quotes:
“I really think before I speak now - I wish I would have had the class earlier in my divorce.”
“I think this was really a great and practical class. I was dreading it because I thought I’d be overwhelmed with guilt - so, I appreciated the hope that was portrayed in the presentation and positive attitude that was presented with important ideas.”
“Be careful about the messages you send your kids about the ex-spouse, money, etc. Kids should not have to deal with our problems.”
“

This course meets the requirements of Minnesota legislation, which became effective in January, 1997, and updated July 2004, that mandates all parents of minor children going through a divorce, with contested custody or parenting time issues, to complete a minimum of an 8-hour divorce education program. The class is required to start within 30 days after the first filing with the court is served or as soon as classes are available. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate recognized by the court as compliance with orders to participate.
