How does mediation work in Mariposa County?
When separating parents in Mariposa County cannot agree on custody or visitation, they first meet with a Child Custody Recommending Counselor, who makes recommendations to the parents and the court if they still disagree [1]. The court sets the session, held at the main courthouse on Bullion Street in Mariposa; a parent living more than 120 miles away or with a documented medical condition may ask the judge to attend by phone [1]. The court's Civil Division page does not list a civil mediation program or panel [2]. The mediators below come from other official panels, such as the Fresno and San Joaquin courts' lists, and are placed here by office location [3][4].
