Rule 702 Parents education clinic, procedure and failure to attend
A. Parties with minor children involved in a divorce proceeding may be ordered to participate in the Parents Education Clinic except for good cause shown. Information regarding the Parents Education Clinic may be obtained from the Clerk assigned to the Family Court. If ordered to attend:
1. The Petitioner and the Respondent must complete participation in the Parents Education Clinic within thirty (30) days of entry of appearance by the Respondent or within thirty (30) days of the filing of an answer by the Respondent.
2. The parties shall file their certificates of completion prior to the conclusion of the divorce proceeding.
3. Non-local parties may attend an alternate but similar program provided the program is approved by the Court.
B. If ordered to attend the Parents Education Clinic, a party's failure to attend may result in delay of the court action and imposition of costs, attorney's fees and any other appropriate sanctions, including contempt. Furthermore, a party not designated as the primary residential custodian may be denied visitation or co-parenting with their minor child until the party files a certificate of completion of the Parents Education Clinic. On a case by case basis, the Decree may include language that the noncompliant parent's visitation or co-parenting time shall be suspended until such time as the parent/party is compliant with this rule. A parent unable to comply due to incarceration shall attend the Parents Education Clinic within 90 days of release from incarceration.
