Question: where do i go to find information on parenting classes

Answer:

The following is provided for general information only. To find out how the law applies to a specific situation, contact an attorney directly. There are a list of approved Parent Information Classes in Maricopa County. You may choose which class you want to attend.  The court will not assign you to attend a specific class. Court-approved provider classes are available in both English and Spanish.  A list of approved classes, including telephone numbers and  addresses, can be found on the Family Court web site.  If you do not have a computer, you may call Conciliation Services at (602) 506-1448.

These classes meet the requirements of the Parent Information Program.  You may also choose to attend a different class that is comparable to the classes listed.  However, you will have to tell the judge how that class is like the classes on the list of approved classes and you may have to provide all the materials from that class and information about it to show it is comparable.  It will be up to the judge to decide if that class meets Parent Information Program requirements.
