No, there is no requirement for parents to hire attorneys to resolve custody and parenting matters. Attorneys typically represent one parent against the other and focus on individual advocacy, not the best interests of the children. Unless a guardian ad litem is involved, no one specifically represents your children. This course is designed to empower you and your co-parent to resolve issues collaboratively and provide a framework for future co-parenting decisions—without relying on attorneys or the court system.

If neither of you believes that the other person has a serious psychological or substance abuse problem, and if there is no domestic violence in your relationship, then this course is absolutely for you. If you are facing any of these issues, then you probably should consult with an attorney.

Yes, it’s possible to try resolving these matters on your own, much like learning to fix your car yourself. However, doing so requires significant time, energy, and expertise that most people lack. This course allows you to focus on your expertise as parents—what makes your children unique, their needs, and their preferences—while benefiting from the guidance of a professional with over two decades of experience in family law who knows how to avoid the common pitfalls of litigation.

Not necessarily. Many parents complete the course in significantly less than a full day. The course is structured to move you forward efficiently, with clear guidance and decision-making support, so you spend your time making progress, not getting stuck.

Yes, the parenting plan you'll create follows the same legal framework used by attorneys and courts nationwide.

Many parents simply sign and file their completed plan with the court, making it legally binding without ever needing to engage in litigation.

Once you complete your parenting plan, you'll have a comprehensive document ready for immediate use. You can either file it with the court yourself, or have an attorney review and file it for a fraction of what a full custody case would cost. Most importantly, you can begin implementing the plan right away to provide stability for your children.

Absolutely. One of the key advantages of our framework is that it includes built-in processes for handling future changes—from minor schedule adjustments to major life events. Instead of returning to court or hiring attorneys each time something needs to change, you'll have clear guidelines for making modifications collaboratively while maintaining stability for your children.
