How does mediation work in Richland County?
Richland County's circuit court, part of the Second Judicial Circuit, sits at the Richland County Courthouse, 103 West Main in Olney [1][2]. Civil cases there may be sent to mediation under Second Circuit Rule 23, and the parties get 7 days to agree on a mediator, then 7 more to nominate three for the judge to choose from [3]. In family cases with contested parenting issues, Rule 21 lets the court appoint an agreed private mediator from the circuit's approved list or pick one itself [4]. All five of our Richland mediators are based in Olney and appear on the Second Circuit's family and civil lists [5][6] or the Fourth Circuit's child-related and civil lists [7][8].
