How does mediation work in Allegan County?

Mediation in Allegan County's circuit court follows the Michigan Court Rules, under which all civil cases are subject to alternative dispute resolution unless a statute or rule provides otherwise.[6] A trial court that uses ADR must adopt a written plan by local administrative order, naming an ADR clerk and saying how its mediator list is kept and how indigent parties get access.[6] After consulting the parties, the court may order a civil case to mediation, and it may send any contested domestic relations issue to mediation on a stipulation, a party's motion or its own initiative.[6] Domestic cases may be exempted for reasons such as child abuse, domestic abuse or safety concerns.[6] Mediators listed below are based in the county and appear on neighboring circuit courts' approved lists, mainly Ottawa County's and Berrien County's.[1][2]

Court-connected mediation in Michigan: Michigan circuit courts keep their own lists of mediators who met court-rule training requirements, and court clerks appoint only from those lists. Some courts encourage parties to pick their own mediator; the court rules themselves were not reviewed.

Private mediation in Michigan: No state license for private mediators was found in the sources reviewed. A State Bar of Michigan ethics opinion says a lawyer-mediator may not draft all the divorce papers for both parties while acting only as mediator.
