NEBRASKA Part 64

PARENTING CLASS

After you file for a divorce, the court will require you to attend a Court Approved Parenting Class if you have children. These classes are often only one session, lasting approximately 3-4 hours. After you file for divorce, the district court clerk should mail you a list of approved parenting classes. If you do not get this list, tell your attorney and he/she should provide you with a list of approved parenting classes. You can find a list of approved parenting education providers throught the Nebraska Parenting Act Information Brochure. You will need to pay the cost of the parenting class. Once you complete the class, you will get a Certificate of Completion. Your lawyer needs to file that certificate with the court to prove that you successfully completed the class. Remember that you need to attend one of the classes that have been approved by the court where your divorce is filed. There are many types of parenting classes available, but only a handful have been approved for divorce cases.
