How does mediation work in Franklin County?
Franklin County is one of four counties in Kansas's Fourth Judicial District, with Anderson, Coffey and Osage [1]. Its Clerk of the District Court is at 301 S. Main in Ottawa (785-242-6000) [2]. The court's Order for Assistance from Mediator/Conciliator form names local professionals it can appoint for mediation, conciliation or case management and parent coordination [3]. Under that form, parties must contact the named mediator within 72 hours to schedule, and prepayment is required, subject to the mediator's or case manager's terms [3]. The mediators listed below appear on the Kansas Judicial Branch's approved provider lists [4][5].

Private mediation in Kansas: No state license for private mediators was found in the Kansas statutes reviewed; state 'approval' is tied to court recommendation and public funding. No rule specific to out-of-state or online mediators was found.
