The Florida Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course takes 4 hours to complete. The course is self-paced — you work through the 8 modules at your own speed and can spread the course across as many sessions as you need.

No. You can stop at any time and return later. Your progress saves automatically at the end of each module. When you log back in, the course resumes where you left off.

The 4-hour total is spread across 8 modules. Individual module lengths vary. You can complete one module at a time or work through several in a single session.

Yes. Florida law sets the following deadlines:

Florida recommends completing the course as early as possible in the divorce process. Do not wait until close to the deadline.

Your course access is active for 120 days from the date of enrollment. This is separate from the 45-day legal deadline — the access period simply determines how long your account remains open. Complete the course before your legal deadline regardless of how much access time remains.

What happens if I do not finish before the legal deadline? Courts may hold a parent in contempt or deny time-sharing if the course is not completed by the required deadline. Complete the course as early as possible to avoid any issues.

Does the course have to be completed in one sitting in some counties? No. The course is self-paced and can be completed across multiple sessions regardless of which Florida county your case is in.

What if I still have course access after my 45-day deadline passes? Your account may still be open within the 120-day access window, but completing the course after your legal deadline may not satisfy the court requirement. Contact your attorney immediately if you have missed or are approaching your deadline.
