How does mediation work in Indiana?

Sources · last reviewed 2026-10-07

  • Court programs and when mediation is required

    Mediators register with the Indiana Supreme Court Commission for Continuing Legal Education [3].

  • Family and custody cases

    An Indiana court can refer a civil or domestic relations case to mediation on its own or at a party's request, and a party may file a written objection within the time the rules allow [1]. Registered civil mediators must be Indiana attorneys in good standing, domestic relations mediators must be attorneys or hold a qualifying degree, and both need 40 hours of approved training [4].

  • Who can mediate in Indiana courts

    After a referral, the parties can choose a mediator from the statewide registry or agree on a non-registered mediator whom the court approves; if they cannot agree, the court names three registered mediators and each side strikes names [2].

  • Cost

    Many counties also fund domestic relations mediation for lower-income parties through a $20 filing fee [6].

  • Check a mediator

    The Office of Admissions and Continuing Education maintains the searchable Mediator Registry [5].
