Well, the judge may not enter the final judgment if both parties have not completed the class.

I believe the Court will not move forward with your case until she has completed the course. If necessary, you can file a motion for the Court to issue an Order for her to complete the course by a date certain. If she then fails to do so, you can ask the Judge to issue Sanctions against her. Sanctions can be in the form of a fine, taking away custody, jail or a combination of any of the former. Good luck.

Penalty is at the discretion of the Judge. No minimum.
