Legal Question in Family Law in California

In a court order, it said to go to co-parenting classes. Neither party attended the class. Is there a form that needs to be filed before going to court, so neither party gets in trouble with the judge? Thank you.

There's not a standard form, but if it was your joint agreement to attend co-parenting classes (and not the Court or mediator's idea), you can try filing a Stipulation and Order that states you agree not to attend co-parenting counseling. If it was the Court or the Mediator who insisted on the co-parenting, you had better get going and atleast contact/choose your co-parenting class. I will say this, though: even if it was nothing more than an agreement between the two of you, I strongly recommend that you attend a co-parenting class no matter what, because it almost always helps the relationship between you and the other party and your children benefit as a result of attending this class.
