Court-Ordered Classes in Colorado

Courts in Colorado order classes across 3 categories we've published guides for. Below is every Colorado requirement we've verified against official sources, each linking to the full guide with the program name, length, format rules and the official provider list.

Court-ordered domestic violence / batterer intervention classes in Colorado

Program: DVOMB-approved domestic violence offender treatment (level-based, competency-based — no fixed week count)

Length: Not a fixed number of weeks. Colorado uses a competency-based, level-based model: an intake evaluation using the Domestic Violence Risk and Needs Assessment (DVRNA) places you at treatment Level A (low intensity), B (moderate), or C (high), and you complete treatment by demonstrating core competencies rather than serving a set week count. In practice treatment commonly runs many months, and a year or longer at higher levels. · Format: Varies by court

Ordered to something that isn't listed here? This page lists only the Colorado requirements we have verified against official state, court or agency sources — it is not a complete list of everything a Colorado judge can order. If your order names a class we haven't covered, the court or agency named on your paperwork is the authority on it.

Independent directory: NextStep Counseling is an independent information site. We are not a court, a government agency, or a class provider, and no court endorses this site or any provider listed on it. Requirements change and vary by case, county and judge — always confirm the exact class, format, hours and an accepted provider with the court that ordered you before you enroll or pay.
