Iowa Online Parenting Class Highlights:

What Is The Purpose Of This Course?

Our parenting and co-parenting classes are designed as family strengthening programs. They teach parents how to be the best parents they can be in any situation and with all ages of children. Separating or divorcing parents learn the impact the change is having on the children. These classes give instruction on how to set up a parenting plan for the best interest of the kids as well as effective communication with your ex-spouse and the do's and don'ts of conversations with and in front of the kids.

Why To Take It Online Rather Than In-Person

Our online class allows you to stay in the comfort of your own home so you don't have to hassle with traffic or finding transportation to a traditional classroom. The program is available 24/7 so you can take it late at night after the kids have gone to sleep or while they are at school during the day. You don't need to lose any family or work time to complete the court requirement. Our classes are designed by Dr. Ari Novick, Ph.D., a licensed and practicing psychotherapist and anger management specialist. You will find them interesting, engaging and easy to understand. When you are done, you will receive the paperwork you need to show the judge in the mail and you can download copies as well. It's a great way to learn during an otherwise stressful and busy time in your life.

Iowa Divorce Laws

It isn't difficult to get a divorce in Iowa. It's a no-fault state so all you have to say is that the marriage has failed and can't be fixed. You are your spouse must have lived in Iowa for one year before you can file, then you have to wait 90 days and the court can grant your divorce unless you have issues that need to be worked out. It costs about $300.00 total in court fees without any legal fees you incur with an attorney. The ease of this process may have contributed to Iowa's high rate of divorce which spiked in 1981 at a rate of 4.2 Iowans per 1,000. More recently, Iowa is finally experiencing a slowdown in the divorce rate which has now slipped to 2.2 per 1,000 residents.

Parent Education Classes In Iowa

Iowa Code § 598.15 mandates that parents seeking a divorce involving children under 18 must participate in a court-approved parenting course. The class should be designed to sensitize and bring awareness to the impact this is having on the children. Caregivers should learn how to best assist their children with the changes and to improve relationships within the family. Parents interested in fulfilling this requirement online should get prior approval from their judge, social worker or through their attorney.

Iowa Customer Review

"This class was a breeze during an otherwise very stressful time in my life. I have 3 kids under the age of 10 and work, so attending live classes would have pushed me over the edge. The judge granted approval and I took it during my lunch hour at work over the course of a week. Thank you for providing this service!" Jennifer N. - Ames, IA
