Michigan | State Directory for Court-Ordered Courses
Michigan court-ordered class system — spanning Circuit Courts (handling felony, family, and civil matters), District Courts (misdemeanors, small claims), and Probate Courts (juvenile and probate matters) across all 83 counties — imposes court-ordered education requirements in thousands of family law, criminal, and protective order cases annually. From the Third Circuit Court in Wayne County (Detroit) to the Kent County Circuit Court in Grand Rapids, from the Washtenaw County Circuit Court in Ann Arbor to the Marquette County Circuit Court in the Upper Peninsula, Michigan courts issue educational requirements as conditions of probation, custody order compliance, and personal protection order terms. Court Courses Co provides fully online, self-paced programs meeting Michigan court standards — available from any device, with no scheduled sessions or in-person attendance.
Michigan Law and Court-Ordered Education
Michigan courts mandate educational programming under well-established statutory authority. In custody proceedings, MCL § 722.23 enumerates the “best interest of the child” factors that Michigan courts must weigh in awarding custody, including the willingness and ability of each parent to facilitate a close, continuing parent-child relationship — a factor that drives co-parenting education requirements in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Kent County Circuit Courts. Michigan’s Family Division of Circuit Court routinely orders parent education in contested custody matters under the framework established by MCL § 722.27. For criminal probation, MCL § 771.3 grants Michigan courts authority to impose conditions of probation, including anger management, domestic violence intervention, and substance use education. Michigan’s Personal Protection Order statutes under MCL § 600.2950 and § 600.2950a authorize Circuit Courts to impose educational compliance conditions on PPO respondents in domestic violence and stalking cases across all Michigan counties.

Michigan Court Programs Online
Our online platform serves Michigan residents in every county — from the dense urban circuits of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties in metro Detroit to the rural Upper Peninsula districts of Houghton, Chippewa, and Luce Counties. Programs are fully self-paced with no live session requirements and no travel to the Cadillac Place court complex in Detroit, the Kent County courthouse in Grand Rapids, or any other Michigan court facility. Complete your program on any smartphone, tablet, or computer and receive a timestamped Certificate of Completion that day. The certificate documents your name, program title, hours, and completion date — formatted for Michigan Circuit Court, District Court, and probation department submission. Michigan does not operate a universal approved-provider registry for all course types; verify your specific requirement with your attorney or probation officer.
Accessible Michigan Court-Ordered Courses from the U.P. to Metro Detroit
With classes starting at $15, Court Courses Co keeps Michigan court-ordered education affordable — one flat fee covers full access to your program, all materials, and your official completion certificate. There are no subscription fees, no per-module charges, and no travel expenses. For Michigan residents navigating divorce and custody proceedings in Kent or Washtenaw County, or completing a probation condition from a Detroit or Flint district court, cost and accessibility matter. Our online-only model eliminates transportation costs, childcare conflicts, and missed pay — particularly important for participants in Michigan’s rural communities where in-person class travel can involve hours of driving. All programs are priced competitively and structured to reflect real value for Michigan court participants.

FAQ
Where do I submit my certificate in Michigan?
You must submit your certificate of completion to the Clerk of the Circuit Court or District Court in the county where your case is pending. If you are on probation, provide the certificate directly to your Probation Officer. For family law cases, the certificate is typically filed through the Michigan Courts online case portal.
What if my Michigan court order lists specific approved providers?
Under MCL 722.27a, Michigan judges have broad discretion to approve parenting education programs. While some counties maintain a list of suggested providers, most Michigan Circuit Courts accept our state-aligned certificates for civil and domestic matters. For Domestic Violence Intervention, confirm acceptance with your attorney or the Michigan Circuit Court Family Division. If your court rejects our certificate, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee.
Who Needs a Michigan Court-Ordered Course?
