Dependency & child welfare mediators in Scott County, IN

How does mediation work in Scott County?

In Scott County, divorces with or without children, along with grandparent visitation cases, are filed in Superior Court rather than Circuit Court [1]. When minor children are involved in a divorce, paternity or legal separation case, both parents must finish the Scott County Co-Parenting Program, or an approved equivalent, within 60 days of the petition at their own cost, and no final hearing is held until both have done so [1]. The courts are at One East McClain Avenue in Scottsburg, in Judicial District 23 [2][3]. Scott does not appear on the state's list of counties with an approved domestic relations ADR Fund Plan [4]. The mediators listed are drawn from Indiana's Mediator Registry [5].
