The Parenting Apart Education Program is a six-hour training session required by the CT family court system for all divorcing parents. It covers how to buffer the impact of divorce on children, as well as techniques for keeping communication child-focused and positive after separation occurs.
Fees are $150 for the course per person. Those with a financial hardship may request a fee waiver through the Clerk’s office at Family Relations.
