Summary: Effective 9/16/2016, the enrollment fee for the court's online parent education program, "Children In Between Online," was raised to $50 per participant pursuant to General Order No. 2016 D 5. The online program is managed for the court by the Center for Divorce Education under Cook County Contract #12-23-228. One of two proposed changes would allow for the enrollment fee to increase from $39.95 to $50.00 to reflect the change authorized by General Order No. D 5. A second change would increase the court's percentage share of the fee from 10 percent, or $3.99, to 20 percent, or $10.00.
