What Happens If I Don't Finish the Florida Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course?
If you do not complete the Florida Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course by your required deadline, no certificate is issued and you have no proof of completion to submit to your court. Florida law gives courts significant authority to respond to non-compliance.
Consequences of Not Completing the Course
A parent who fails to complete the course by the required deadline may face the following consequences:
Being held in contempt of court
Being denied time-sharing with minor children
Being denied shared parental responsibility
Other sanctions at the court's discretion
These consequences are set by Florida law and are at the court's discretion. The risks of non-completion are serious and should not be taken lightly.
