We’re still celebrating you and your fatherhood, even if your day isn’t the way it should be.

Q: Can I take my required parent education class online since we’re social distancing?

A: Not yet. While this is a valid concern, this has not been approved across the board by our judges yet. Given the current circumstances, we are able to file a Motion to ask the Judge for permission if a client requests this.
