| Yes, all of the courses offered by the Domestic Relations Office meet the requirements established by the Texas Family Code.
|
| The
Local Rules of the Harris County Family Courts provide that family courts shall
require parents to complete an educational program, unless good cause has been
shown. Your attorney may have more
specific information, or you may contact the court in which your case is
pending to determine what is required.
|
| No. When you complete your registration, you are asked to provide the name of the other parent, and care is taken by DRO staff to avoid registering both you and the other parent in the same workshop at the same time.
|
| The workshops are most helpful if they are attended in order, but if you must miss a session, you may notify your instructor at droinquiries@hctx.net to request a make-up session.
|
| The Court will be notified directly by the Domestic Relations Office once you have completed a workshop. Additionally, you will receive a Certificate of Completion for your records. However, please be aware that all sessions of the workshop for which you are registered must be completed before you will receive credit for the course.
|
| Your successful completion of the workshop will be reported to the Court. It is up to the individual Court to determine what action, if any, will be taken with respect to the other parent.
