Rhode Island Court-Ordered Classes | Approved Online Programs

Rhode Island operates a unified court system under the Rhode Island Judiciary, with the Family Court handling all matters involving divorce, custody, and domestic violence, and the Superior Court overseeing felony criminal proceedings. In family law matters, R.I. Gen. Laws § 15-5-16.2 directs Rhode Island Family Court to evaluate each parent’s ability to support the child’s relationship with the other parent — making co-parenting education a routine requirement in contested custody proceedings. Criminal probation conditions including anger management and substance use education are authorized under R.I. Gen. Laws § 12-19-6. Domestic violence protective order educational conditions are governed by R.I. Gen. Laws § 15-15-3.

Even in the nation’s smallest state, online programs offer significant advantages over in-person attendance. Court schedules, provider availability, work obligations, and childcare responsibilities create real barriers regardless of geography. Our platform eliminates the need to travel to the Rhode Island Family Court in Providence, the Kent County Courthouse in Warwick, or any other Rhode Island court facility. Available 24/7 from any device, you can complete your required hours entirely on your own schedule without disrupting your daily routine.

Your Certificate of Completion is available for immediate download upon finishing your program. It includes your full name, program title, total hours completed, and a timestamp — formatted for submission to Rhode Island Family Court, Superior Court, and probation officers statewide. For family law matters, certificates are typically submitted directly to the clerk of the Rhode Island Family Court in Providence. If you are on probation, deliver the certificate to your probation officer promptly and retain a copy for your personal records. Confirm submission requirements with your attorney or the Rhode Island Courts website.

Rhode Island Family Court is a statewide court with jurisdiction over all domestic and family matters across Rhode Island’s 5 counties. Individual Family Court judges have broad discretion in setting educational program requirements — including required hours, program type, and accepted providers — meaning expectations can vary between judges even within the same courthouse. Confirm your specific requirements with your attorney or the clerk of the Rhode Island Family Court before enrolling. The Rhode Island Family Court maintains helpful resources for self-represented litigants.

The majority of co-parenting, anger management, and life skills requirements in Rhode Island can be fulfilled through our online platform. However, certain programs tied to domestic violence intervention — particularly those connected to Rhode Island’s Batterer Intervention Program standards under R.I. Gen. Laws § 12-29-5 — may require in-person attendance depending on the specific terms of your order. Rhode Island’s DUI education and treatment requirements may also carry in-person components. Always review your court order carefully and consult the Rhode Island Judiciary or your attorney before enrolling. We provide a full refund if our certificate is not accepted.

Providence County accounts for the vast majority of Rhode Island’s Family Court and Superior Court caseload, and judges there tend to have well-established expectations around program type, required hours, and provider standards. Courts in Kent, Washington, Newport, and Bristol Counties handle lower volumes but follow the same statewide Family Court rules and judicial discretion standards. Regardless of your county, your court order is always the controlling document. Confirm program type, required hours, and accepted formats with your attorney or the clerk of your assigned court before enrolling.
