Parenting Apart is an educational program for parents who have filed for divorce in Tennessee. It is mandated by law that divorcing parents of minor children attend a parent education course. Parenting Apart fulfills this requirement. Through this four-hour course, parents learn how to help their children cope with the issues that arise because of the divorce. Topics covered during the course range from facts about divorce to keeping children out of the middle of conflict. Classes include discussion, videos, lectures, and role-play activities.

Pre-registration is necessary; please call the UT Extension office at 735-1637 to register.​
