OKLAHOMA Part 38

Do I have to go to a seminar on parenting and divorce, even if I'm a good parent?

You may be a good parent, but separating from the other parent or taking legal action changes your relationship with the other parent drastically. It is important to minimize the effect of those changes on the children. Oklahoma law and local court rules require parents involved in a custody proceeding to attend a divorce education seminar. The seminar will discuss, among other things, the impact of separate parenting and co-parenting on children, visitation and conflict management, stages of child development, and financial responsibility for children. The seminar is not designed for individual therapy.
