is therefore ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:

In dissolution of marriage cases, the person filing the case must complete one of the following courses within 45

Any person required to take this course must file proof of completion of the course before the Court will enter a

Final Judgment.

The Court may excuse a party from attending the parenting course or from completing the course within the
