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

How does mediation work in Washington County?

Washington County and Madison County together form the Fourth Judicial Circuit; the state judicial directory lists eight circuit judges for Washington County, each at a Fayetteville address [1]. To mediate cases from Arkansas circuit courts, a mediator must be certified by the Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission, whose roster goes to every circuit judge [2]. Separately, the statewide Access and Visitation Mediation Program helps parents mediate custody, visitation and child support at income-based reduced rates [3], and its 2025 roster lists mediators in Fayetteville and Prairie Grove [4]. The mediators shown below are taken from the Commission's certified mediator directory [5].
