"AOK" PARENTING CLASS

The AOK Parenting Class is a program designed to assist parents in becoming better at communicating with their former spouses relating to their minor children. The goal of the program is to teach parents effective ways to resolve frequent issues that arise regarding parenting time and other parenting issues following a divorce or dissolution.

All parties to divorces or dissolutions with minor children filed in the Paulding Common Pleas Court are required to complete the AOK Parenting Class prior to their final hearing. Once a party receives a certificate of completion of the class, that party will not be required to retake the class again for three years. If an action is reopened in Court and more than three years have passed since the date of their original certificate of completion of the class, each party may be required to take the class again.

The program is available online at www.assistingourkids.com. The cost of this program is $30.00 and is paid when completing the online order form. A certificate of completion is available at the end of the program. You will need to either print this certificate and provide a copy of it to the Common Pleas Court or email a copy of the certificate to lvance@pauldingcounty-oh.com to verify that you have completed the program. If you are not able to complete the program online there is a live AOK Parenting Class Schedule available. A list of participating counties and their contact information is available by contacting the Common Pleas Court.

COMPLETION OF THIS PROGRAM IS MANDATORY AS PART OF YOUR COURT CASE.

If you do not attend, the conclusion of your case may be delayed until you complete the course or your parenting time may be delayed or suspended until the class is taken.
