Many courts require that parties in cases involving children complete a co-parenting course, which is a course designed to provide parents with tips on co-parenting their children. Some courts have a pre-approved list of courses they will accept, while other courts will accept any co-parenting course.
Below is a list of courses that are accepted in most Galveston County, Brazoria County, and Harris County courts:
Texas Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course
Court Approved Parenting and Divorce Class
Texas Cooperative Parenting Course
Positive Parenting Through Divorce
Helping Children After Divorce
Court Approved Parenting Classes and Co Parenting Classes – Online Classes (puttingkidsfirst.org)
* This course is preferred by Brazoria County courts.
IMPORTANT: After you complete your co-parenting course, send your Certificate of Completion to your attorney to file with the court. The course providers do not send your completion certificate to the courts directly, so the court will be unaware that you have completed the course unless the completion certificate is filed by your attorney.
