GWINNETT COUNTY DIVORCE – WHAT IS A PARENTING WORKSHOP ORDER?

2015 Navigating Family Change Seminar - Gwinnett County

This is Part 4 of the Filing for Divorce in Gwinnett County series.  I provided a general overview on How to File for Divorce in Gwinnett County Superior Court in Part 1 of the series, where to file a divorce in Gwinnett County in Part 2, and the Gwinnett Mutual Restraining Order in Part 3.  In the over twenty years I have been handling Gwinnett divorce and child custody cases at my Lawrenceville office I have been asked numerous questions about filing for divorce.  This series is focused on addressing common questions that many have asked when considering filing for divorce in Gwinnett County.  If you have any questions after reading this post please contact me at my Lawrenceville office for a free phone consultation.

A PARENTING WORKSHOP ORDER IS FILED IN EVERY GWINNETT COUNTY DIVORCE CASE THAT INVOLVES A MINOR CHILD OR CHILDREN

Whenever a divorce case is filed in Gwinnett County there must be a Parenting Workshop Order attached to the Summons and Complaint for Divorce.  The Parenting Workshop Order is a Standing Order which means it is an Order that has been signed by all of the Gwinnett County Superior Court judges and is to be filed in every Gwinnett County divorce case which involves a minor child or children.

WHAT IS THE GWINNETT COUNTY PARENTING WORKSHOP?

The Gwinnett County Superior Court Parenting Workshop Order requires each parent of a minor child or children to attend the Parenting Seminar/Workshop.  The cost for the seminar is $40.00 and it lasts four hours.  The divorcing parents seminar is held at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center or GJAC at 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville, GA.  More information about the Parenting Seminar/Workshop can be found here.  A copy of the the Gwinnett County Superior Court Parenting Workshop Order can be found here: Parenting Workshop Order.  The Navigating Family Change seminar pamphlet can be found below:
