How does mediation work in Fayette County?

For divorce and other domestic relations cases in Fayette County, Iowa Code § 598.7 allows the district court to order mediation on its own motion or a party's motion.[2] Taking part means attending a session with the mediator and the other party, hearing the mediator explain the process and presenting and hearing each side's view; it does not require reaching an agreement.[2] Each party has the right to a lawyer's advice and presence throughout.[2] Any agreement goes to the parties' attorneys and is not enforceable until the court approves it.[2] Costs fall on the parties as agreed or ordered, on a sliding scale for indigent parties.[2] The mediators listed below are on the Iowa Judicial Branch's statewide list of family law mediators and name Fayette County among the counties they serve.[1]
