Rule 34
of the Rules of the Court requires all parents of minor children who are ending their marriages or legally separating to complete a court approved divorce seminar before parental rights will be allocated. The seminar is focused on the needs of the children whose parents are ending their marriages. The seminar will cover the effects on a family and impact on the children of ending the marriage and behaviors parents should avoid.
Each parent who completes the seminar will receive a certificate which he or she must file with the Clerk of Courts or present to the Court.
Only parents who have completed a court approved seminar will be allocated rights and responsibilities or shared parenting. Parents who have not completed a court approved seminar will not be able to modify an allocation of parental rights and responsibilities and will not be able to enforce a parenting time schedule.
