Children First in Divorce
If you are a parent seeking dissolution of marriage in Florida , you will
have to participate in one of the various parenting classes offered
throughout the state. Though the formats vary from county to county,
each circuit has some type of program to help assist and educate parents
with the needs of their children as the family navigates through the
divorce process.
Parents are required to complete the Children First in Divorce Program.
Please note that in most cases both spouses must complete the class
before the court will grant a divorce.

paternity actions.
Most programs are presented in a classroom setting and provide

divorce. The class will discuss the concerns that parents have about
children, the impact of divorce upon children, and how to assist children
through this difficult process.
