Co-Parenting Education & Resources

Parents Forever™

Parents Forever™ is an educational program for parents that are separating, divorcing, or changing custody of their children.

After the Parents Forever™ program, you will be able to:

  • Describe the family transition journey
  • Recognize the importance of self-care and the parent-child bond for child well-being
  • Identify internal and external resources to help you thrive during big changes

To complete the course, parents participate in a 4-hour class. Extension Marquette County charges $28.00(cash, check or money order) for the program and materials if you are having them shipped to you. It is $20.00 if you are picking them up in person. Payment options available for financial hardship.

The Parents Forever™ program may meet the requirement for court mandated co-parenting classes for divorcing parents in Marquette County. Please confirm with your county before registering to ensure it meets all requirements.
