What is the Parent Information Program (PIP)?

Maricopa County requires divorcing or separating parents with minor children to complete a Parent Information Program. It is a three-to-four-hour course under A.R.S. § 25-351. This online class fulfills that PIP requirement.

What topics does the course cover?

The emotional effects of divorce on parents and children; children’s needs at different ages; conflict management; co-parenting; financial responsibilities; family violence; and community resources — the topics Arizona’s parent-education requirement is built around.
