What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, in an action affecting the family in which a minor child is involved, a court may order one or both of the parties to attend parenting classes if the court determines that it is appropriate and in the best interest of the child. This bill requires the parties to attend parenting classes in an action affecting the family, other than a paternity action, in which a minor child is involved. Under the bill, a court may waive this requirement for good cause or if a parent has attended a parenting class during the course of the action affecting the family or has attended a parenting class within the six months preceding the filing of the action.
