Probate, estates & elder care mediators in Benton County, AR

How does mediation work in Benton County?

Benton County makes up the Nineteenth West Judicial Circuit by itself; the state judicial directory lists seven circuit judges there, all with Bentonville addresses [1]. Arkansas circuit courts use mediators certified by the Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission, which sets certification and conduct standards and sends its roster to every circuit judge [2]. For parents, the Commission-advised Access and Visitation Mediation Program mediates custody, visitation and child support at reduced rates tied to income [3]; its 2025 roster includes mediators in Rogers, Bentonville and Lowell [4]. Listings below are drawn from the Commission's directory of certified mediators [5].
