Florida Court-Ordered Life Skills Requirements
Florida courts order life skills under various statutes including Florida Statute §784.03 (Battery), §784.011 (Assault), and §784.048 (Stalking). life skills is also commonly ordered as part of pretrial intervention programs, which allow defendants to avoid a criminal conviction by completing specified requirements.
Under Florida law, circuit and county court judges have discretion to order life skills as a special condition of probation under §948.03. Florida does not mandate a specific number of hours statewide — the duration is set by the individual judge or the terms of the plea agreement. Common durations in Florida range from 8 to 26 hours.
For domestic violence cases in Florida, the court may order a Batterer's Intervention Program (BIP) under §741.281 rather than general life skills. BIPs in Florida are 26-29 weeks and must be provided by a state-certified BIP provider. If your court order specifies a BIP, our general life skills course does not satisfy that requirement. If your order specifies life skills, our course qualifies.
