How does mediation work in Allegan County?
Allegan County is the whole of Michigan's forty-eighth judicial circuit; the statute sets the circuit at 2 judges and, subject to section 550, permits a third from January 1, 2025 [1]. Its friend of the court must provide alternative dispute resolution for custody and parenting-time disputes under a plan approved by the chief judge and the State Court Administrative Office, which has to screen for domestic violence, protection orders and child abuse or neglect [2]. Two of our three Allegan mediators, both in Holland, are on the Berrien County Trial Court's approved civil case mediator list [3]. The third appears on Kent County's civil roster and on the Western District of Michigan's facilitative mediation panel [4][5].

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.
