How does mediation work in Charles County?
In Charles County, civil and family cases are heard by the Circuit Court in La Plata, which MACRO lists as running ADR programs for both family and non-family civil cases [1]. According to the court's family services page, parents who disagree about custody or visitation are ordered to mediation with an assigned private mediator [2]. That mediator list draws on both lawyers and mental health professionals trained in mediation [2]. Parties who cannot afford the mediator's fee may ask Family Support Services for a waiver [2]. For complicated marital property issues, the court may also order separate property mediation with attorney mediators [2]. The Charles mediators below are on the Judiciary's MACRO statewide roster, as of October 2026 [3].

Mediators who work online with Maryland clients
These mediators say they work with Maryland clients online. They are on other states’ official rosters (shown on each listing), not Maryland’s. Where they serve is their own statement. Sorted: placements first (paid ones are labeled), then most complete profile.
Court-ordered case? Courts may require a mediator from their own approved list for court-ordered cases. Check your court’s rules, or see how mediation works in Maryland.
Court-connected mediation in Maryland: When a Maryland circuit court picks the mediator, it picks from its approved roster (now handled through MACRO). Parties may instead agree on a different mediator, on the list or not, within 30 days of the referral order.
Private mediation in Maryland: No state license for private mediators was found in the sources reviewed. A Maryland rule note says mediators may record points of agreement but should not author agreements in litigated cases. No out-of-state or online rule was found.
