Program Description:
PTLA is a 3-hour course for parents involved in a paternity matter who have never been married and are living apart.
Program Goals:
This course is designed to teach parents about positive communication, cooperative parenting skills, children's developmental stages, reactions to parental conflict, and to assist never-married parents in understanding the value of co-parenting their children cooperatively.
Access to Service:
All parents involved in a paternity matter are required to attend PTLA. There is no cost for this class. FCRS is currently offering PTLA virtually by Webex or live in-person classes. If you are registering for a live, in-person class, please do not bring children, as childcare is not provided. Pre-enrollment is required for either class. You must register online at least 48 hours before the class date. Upon completion of the class, FCRS will forward a Certificate of Attendance to the Court for filing. If you are completing the class by Webex, FCRS will send a Certificate of Attendance to the email provided in the registration also.
Location and Time of Service:
Parties have the option to register for a virtual Webex class or a live in-person class. Please click on the PTLA Registration link above to choose which type of class you would like to attend. A list of available dates and times will be listed under each class.
