Can My Attorney Submit My Florida Parenting Course Certificate to the Court for Me?
Yes. You can provide your completion certificate PDF to your attorney and authorize them to submit it to the court on your behalf. This is a common and accepted approach.
How It Works
When you receive your certificate by email from Divorce Parenting Class:
Forward the email or send the PDF attachment to your attorney.
Let your attorney know you have completed the course and ask them to submit the certificate to the court.
Confirm with your attorney that the submission was received and recorded by the court.
Important: Divorce Parenting Class Cannot Submit for You
Divorce Parenting Class emails your certificate directly to you — we do not submit it to courts and cannot do so on your behalf. The submission step is always your responsibility, whether you handle it personally or through your attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I do not have an attorney? If you are representing yourself (pro se), you are responsible for submitting the certificate directly to the court. Contact the clerk's office at your court to ask about their preferred submission method.
Does providing the certificate to my attorney count as submitting it? Your attorney submitting it to the court on your behalf counts as submission. Simply sending it to your attorney without them filing it does not — follow up to confirm they have submitted it and that the court has received it.
What does my attorney need to submit the certificate? The PDF of your completion certificate is all that is needed. Your attorney will know your case number and the correct filing process for your court.
