What happens if one of the parties does not complete the Parenting Education? Can I deny the granting of the divorce?
No court shall deny the granting of a divorce from the bonds of matrimony for failure of a party or both parties to attend the educational session. T.C.A. § 36-6-408(c). However, the Court may issue a Show Cause Order to the party or parties not attending the seminar. In addition, the Court must consider that factor when determining the division of parenting time and decision-making. T.C.A. § 36-6-404(b)(4).
