How does mediation work in Kalamazoo County?

Kalamazoo County alone makes up both Michigan's 9th judicial circuit, which has 5 judges and may add a sixth from 2025, and the 8th district, which has 7 judges and shrinks to 6 at the next vacancy or when an incumbent stops seeking election [1][2]. State law requires each friend of the court office to offer, directly or by contract, help settling custody and parenting-time disputes under a plan that screens for domestic violence and includes a mediation option [3]. Mediators below appear on Calhoun County's 37th Circuit civil list, the Western District of Michigan's facilitative mediation panel, or Kent County's civil roster [4][5][6].

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.
