This article profiles the Court Care Center for Divorcing Families, a divorce education intervention program currently being implemented in the Ninth Judicial Circuit in Orange County. Florida. This program is based on a descriptive model designed by Blaisure and Geasler. The Court Care Center is positioned within the courthouse and offers multilevel interventions designed to address the educational and emotional needs of families going through the transition of divorce. The Court Case Center is a result of a collaborative effort of mental health professionals, judges, and Orange County government. The Court Care Center offers crisis counseling, high‐conflict group intervention, skills‐based parent education for divorcing parents, and a referral base for divorcing families as a support to the domestic court.
