Going through a divorce can be particularly difficult for parents, who are not only dealing with the reality of the decisions they are making but also their children’s reactions to those decisions.
Parent Education Program (PEP)
New Jersey has a court-mandated educational initiative for parents going through divorce or custody issues. This program is intended to help parents understand how separation and divorce impact their families, specifically their children.
Who must attend PEP?
In New Jersey, any parent involved in a custody or parenting time dispute is generally required to attend this program, which the court usually orders as part of divorce proceedings.
Content of the program
You may wonder what the program entails. Parent Education Program sessions typically cover a range of topics, including children’s emotional and developmental needs, how to support children during and after a parent’s divorce, co-parenting strategies and communication techniques, including conflict resolution skills.
In addition, the program usually discusses the legal aspects of child custody, and parents learn how custody, parenting time, and child support work in New Jersey.
Lastly, the program addresses how to manage emotional challenges that parents may face due to divorce and custody matters. The entire program lasts a few hours and can be completed in person or online, depending on the specific court’s requirements and the provider of the program.
Participating in the Parent Education Program is an essential first step for divorcing parents and learning about custody matters. By understanding how the law works in this area, parents are better equipped to handle separation challenges in their families.Search for:
