How does mediation work in Johnson County?

Johnson County makes up Kansas's 10th Judicial District on its own, served by 16 district judges [1]. The court's Domestic Court Services unit offers separated and divorced parents mediation and conciliation, and also prepares home studies and runs supervised visitation and exchanges [2]. In eviction cases, the 10th District's program makes mediation mandatory when a tenant disagrees with the landlord's filing; it usually happens in person on the assigned court date, with mediators who are approved dispute resolution providers [3]. The state's approved-program list includes ADR: A Step Forward in Olathe [4], and the mediators below appear on the Kansas Judicial Branch's provider lists [5][6].

Court-connected mediation in Kansas: Kansas law has the court appoint the mediator in family cases, weighing the parties' agreed choice and the mediator's training; state approval mainly affects court recommendation and funding. Supreme Court rule details were not confirmed.

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.
