Family courts are increasingly interested in online parenting programs for divorcing and separating parents, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. To our knowledge, no previous study has evaluated the barriers to and facilitators of parent participation in these programs for family law cases. We interviewed 61 parents in the midst of family law cases regarding their perspectives. While many parents viewed online parent programs positively (e.g., convenient), they also reported barriers to participation (e.g., technology problems). We offer recommendations (e.g., communication about program benefits) to support courts as they decide whether to continue ordering online parent programs following the pandemic.
家庭法院对面向离婚和分居父母的在线育儿项目越来越感兴趣，尤其是在新冠疫情期间。据我们所知，此前没有研究评估过父母参与这些家庭法律案件相关项目的障碍和促进因素。我们就其观点采访了61位处于家庭法律案件中的父母。虽然许多父母对在线育儿项目持积极看法（例如，方便），但他们也报告了参与的障碍（例如，技术问题）。我们提供了一些建议（例如，宣传项目益处），以支持法院决定疫情后是否继续下令开展在线育儿项目。
