We recognize the pivotal role you play in guiding families through the complexities of divorce and co-parenting. You provide the essential service of family law to assist co-parents through divorce proceedings with as little damage as possible—especially for the children.
By Jorge Manzanera, Founder and Director, Successful Co-Parenting
As family law practitioners in Snohomish County and across Washington State, you are uniquely positioned to guide your clients toward a resilient, fulfilling post-divorce life. Your legal counsel is essential for navigating the complex and often overwhelming legal proceedings of a dissolution. You manage the framework of a family's transition, protecting your client's interests and negotiating the terms that define their future.
However, the most critical stage often occurs as the ink dries on the final decree—the moment parents must begin a new, horizontal relationship as co-parents. By embracing your role as a strategic connector and guiding your clients toward high-quality skill-building, you do more than just manage a file; you create the conditions for more efficient negotiations, durable agreements, and healthier outcomes for the children caught in the middle.
It is essential to refer clients to credible, court-approved programs that offer more than just a certificate. Since 2017, the Successful Co-Parenting (SCP) program has served as the approved provider for the mandatory parenting seminar in Snohomish Superior Court, and we are now accepted in most counties of Washington State.
Our program is specifically designed to complement your legal guidance by equipping parents with the practical skills needed to thrive in their new reality.
Since our inception in 2017, Successful Co-Parenting (SCP) has been dedicated to transforming the landscape of parenting education. We understand that standard parenting seminars have historically been viewed by clients as a "box-checking" exercise—a static requirement on a long list of legal obligations.
We believe that education must do more than just satisfy a statutory requirement. It must provide the emotional regulation and practical skills needed for a healthier post-divorce chapter. As we move into this fall season, we are excited to introduce several major updates to our curriculum, designed to meet the realities of modern families. We are now offering an additional option: the Successful Co-Parenting Hybrid format for busy parents who prefer self-paced training.
Expecting a parent to sit through a single, static four-hour weekend block is not the best option for many parents. To solve this, we have launched our innovative 3+1 Hybrid Format:
This format respects your clients' schedules while ensuring they retain the practical tools needed to comply with the court requirement and move into a more effective teamwork.
Our platform combines developmental parenting & co-parenting with accessible technology. It provides parents with a 24/7 on-demand, interactive system to practice communication strategies, de-escalate emotional triggers, and build structured routines between homes. By integrating this technology, we are empowering parents to move beyond the theory of conflict resolution and into the practical, daily application of those skills, even when they are not in a classroom setting.
Three reasons family lawyers and court staff trust us with their referrals.
Unlike stagnant pre-recorded videos, we teach skills in real-time via Zoom. This allows for dynamic Q&A and engagement that ensures clients truly absorb conflict-resolution techniques.
To serve the entire community, we offer dedicated class dates in both English and Spanish (under the name "Co-Paternidad Exitosa").
Our program is widely accepted across Washington State, including Snohomish, Skagit, Island, King, Kitsap, Grant, and Kittitas counties. This ensures your clients meet legal requirements while gaining invaluable life skills.
At Tio Jorge's Successful Co-Parenting program, we're committed to supporting your efforts by providing a structured, insightful, and transformative class that equips parents to navigate their new lives as divorced parents.
The "Successful Co-Parenting Program" is the best choice to satisfy and exceed WA state requirements of a Parenting Class under LR 94.03 and RCW 26.12.172.
Since 2017, our bilingual program has been formally approved by several Superior Courts in WA that today include: Snohomish, Grant, Kittitas, Walla Walla, Skagit, Island, and San Juan Counties, among others.
We are proud to announce that due to our highly recognized program, our program has always been accepted across WA state.
As lawyers, you are often the first point of contact for parents during the challenging transition of divorce. Your guidance is crucial in helping them understand the legal and emotional aspects of this new phase in their lives. Our co-parenting online programs complement your efforts by offering practical tools and strategies to help parents and co-parents work together for the benefit of their children.
This program provides parents with the skills they need to communicate effectively, manage conflict, and co-parent successfully. By referring your clients to this class, you're giving them a valuable resource to build a cooperative co-parenting relationship, which can ultimately lead to fewer legal conflicts and a more stable family environment.
We understand the essential role that courts play in formalizing and protecting family structures. Our program aligns with these goals by offering a structured curriculum that can be mandated as part of the legal process, ensuring that all parents are equipped with the knowledge and tools they need to co-parent effectively.
