LR 11. PARENTING SEMINARS

(a)  Applicable Cases. This rule applies to all domestic
  cases including dissolutions, legal separations, non-
  parental actions for child custody and paternity actions (in
  which paternity has been established) where a parenting plan
  or residential plan is required. The rule also applies to
  parties in an action seeking a major modification of a
  previous parenting or residential plan.

(b)  Designated Provider. The court shall review the
  qualifications and designate any approved provider of the
  mandatory parenting class. The court will also accept any
  comparable class that has been approved by any other
  superior court.

(c)  Attendance Requirement. Each parent and each other
  party seeking any rights under a parenting or residential
  plan shall, within ten days after initiating or being served
  with initial documents in a case covered by this rule,
  contact a designated provider to schedule attendance at the
  court approved parenting class. At least thirty days prior
  to trial in such a case, or prior to entry of a final
  parenting plan or residential schedule if no trial is held,
  each such party attend and complete the parenting class, and
  shall file proof thereof with the court.

(d)  Exemption and Enforcement. The court may waive the
  seminar for good cause. In no case shall opposing parties be
  required to attend classes together. However, except in
  cases involving allegations of domestic violence or where
  court orders prohibit such contact, the parties may attend
  the same class at the same time. Unless exempted, a party
  who fails to comply may be punished by civil contempt
  remedies, by an order striking pleadings or court dates, or
  in such other manner as the court deems appropriate.
