The actor and his ex-wife, Aryn Drake-Lee, are still battling it out in court over custody issues in their ongoing divorce, and now, a judge has ordered that both parties to take a “high conflict” parenting course to improve some of the issues between them and their kids.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the former couple has been ordered to participate in an online program for “high conflict parents.”  This came after Jesse tried (and failed) to modify previous court orders regarding custody and visitation of their 2 young children, 7-year-old Sadie and Maceo, 5. While Williams and Drake-Lee have been sharing joint legal and physical custody over the past couple years, things have been pretty rocky.

As for this parenting course, it is a 6-session online program that provides strategies for reducing conflicts in co-parenting relationships, which seems like a good course for most people co-parenting children with their ex.

After he filed in 2017, Jesse and Aryn finalized their divorce back in October. Over the course of the past couple years, throughout this messy split, the actor fought with Aryn over child custody, lashed out over stories about him dating Minka Kelly, and even waged a legal war over child support money.

It seems like a course in courteous co-parenting could be a welcome change here.
