Approved Parent Education Classes When parents dispute custody or parenting time in court, Minn. Stat. § 518.157 requires that the parents attend a parenting education class. Depending on the circumstances, the judge may also order that the children attend a class. Starting August 1, 2021, unless otherwise ordered, participation in a parent education course must begin within 30 days of the first filing in the case and prior to an Initial Case Management Conference, if one is scheduled. The list below describes parenting education classes approved by the State Court Administrator’s Office and their websites. Parties should retain their certificates of completion.
