Terms of Use

Effective date: July 18, 2026

Educational Information, Not Legal Advice

Website content is general professional education and is not legal advice, a legal opinion, a court directive, or a substitute for reviewing current law, the operative court order, local court procedures, agency policy, or advice from qualified counsel.

No Government Endorsement or Credential

Bridging Families Academy is not endorsed, approved, accredited, or certified by the Judicial Council of California or any superior court. An Academy certificate documents completion of Academy requirements and is not a state license, government certification, court appointment, or guarantee of professional eligibility.

Course Formats, Tuition, and Enrollment

The Academy may offer Live In-Classroom Training and Live Instructor-Led Virtual Classroom Training. The 24-hour program includes 12 live instructional hours and 12 guided self-paced hours. Current tuition is $499 for either format unless a written cohort notice states otherwise. Dates, capacity, venue or platform procedures, payment deadlines, refunds, transfers, and enrollment status are governed by the written cohort notice and Enrollment and Attendance Policy.

Accuracy and Current Sources

Laws, standards, forms, links, and local procedures may change. The Academy seeks to use reliable sources, but users are responsible for confirming current official information.

Academy materials, presentations, exercises, written content, graphics, recordings, assessments, and instructional methods may be protected by copyright and other rights. Participants may not record, photograph, screen-capture, livestream, reproduce, distribute, sell, publish, or share protected content or participant information without written authorization.

Academy Recording

The Academy may record sessions or designated portions with advance notice and any required consent procedure for attendance verification, quality assurance, accessibility, or resolution of an attendance dispute. Academy recordings are restricted, are not distributed as course replays, and do not replace live attendance.
