How does mediation work in Washington County?
The Circuit Court for Washington County sits in the Andrew F. Wilkinson Courthouse in Hagerstown, and MACRO lists separate civil (non-family) and family ADR programs there [1]. When a case is suitable, the court orders mediation in contested child access or child support, marital property and alimony disputes [2]. For child access cases, the court keeps a list of approved mediators, who hold up to two court-ordered sessions of two hours each [2]. The court lists the rate as $200 an hour, split evenly between the parties, though income-eligible parties may ask the Family Law Fund for help [2]. The Washington County mediators below are on the Judiciary's MACRO statewide roster, as of October 2026 [3].

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.
