With a sustained large number of divorces in the U.S. over the last two decades, various educational interventions have been developed for families of divorce. Children Cope With Divorce is a parent education seminar that aims to provide divorcing parents with information and resources that will help them decrease the negative effects of the divorce process on their children. Within divorce proceedings, family court judges are important observers of the impact of such parent education seminars. A national survey of judges who have referred divorcing parents to the seminar was conducted. The survey method is discussed and the responding judges' views of the effectiveness of Children Cope With Divorce are presented
