Register for CoParenting: Two Parents, Two Homes
All classes are currently held via Zoom.
Thank you for registering! Here is some important information about the class:
- The zoom link and information will be sent out in an email as we get closer to the date of the class.
- In order to get as much interaction as possible, it is REQUIRED that you are able to attend WITH VIDEO, not just sound.
- I realize you will be attending this class from the comfort of your home but you will need to be able to give your FULL attention to the seminar. You really have to be fully present in order to successfully complete the class and receive your certificate.
- If you are using a computer, you will be able to click on the link and you may not have to download anything. Check out prior to Wednesday just to be sure.
- If you are using your smart phone (either Android or Apple) you can download the ZOOM app. I recommend you do that PRIOR to 5pm on Wednesday. If you're like me, you may have to delete some pictures of your kids in order to add another app.
- I strongly recommend that you use some type of headphones/earbuds, etc. as it will give everyone a better experience by cutting down on background noise if you are asking a question or have a comment during the class.
- If you're using a smartphone, please have a charger handy!
- Please remember that this is a professional seminar. We can see and hear you. Dress appropriately. You may eat and drink but please, no alcoholic beverages. Check your lighting so that we can actually see you.
- The workbook and a packet of handouts will be sent with your confirmation email. Please do your best to print these materials ahead of the class. If you have no way to print, please contact me and we can figure out a way to get them to you.

Virginia Code Sections 16.1-278.15 and 20-103, as amended, state that the parties to any petition where a child whose custody, visitation or support is contested shall show proof that they have attended within the 12 months prior to their court appearance or that they shall attend within 45 days thereafter an educational seminar or other like program conducted by a qualified person or organization approved by the court. The court may require the parties to attend such seminar or program in uncontested cases only if the court finds good cause. The seminar or other program shall be a minimum of 4 hours in length and shall address the effects of separation or divorce on children, parenting responsibilities, options for conflict resolution and financial responsibilities. Once a party has completed one educational seminar or other like program, the required completion of additional programs shall be at the court’s discretion. Parties under this section shall include natural or adoptive parents of the child, or any person with a legitimate interest as defined in Section 20-124.1. The fee charged per party for participation in such program shall be based on the party’s ability to pay; however, no fee in excess of $50 may be charged. Whenever possible, before participating in mediation or alternative dispute resolution to address custody, visitation or support, each party shall have attended the educational seminar or other like program. The court may grant an exemption from attendance of such program for good cause shown or if there is no program reasonably available.
