How does mediation work in Washtenaw County?

In Washtenaw County, mediation in court cases follows the Michigan Court Rules. For civil cases referred under MCR 2.411, parties may agree on a mediator; if they do not tell the ADR clerk by the date in the referral order, the court appoints one from its approved list in rotation.[9] Under MCR 3.216, the court may send any contested issue in a domestic relations case, including post-judgment matters, to mediation on stipulation, on a party's motion or on its own initiative, but not without a hearing when a personal protection order or a child abuse and neglect case is involved.[9] The Washtenaw County Trial Court publishes lists of approved civil and domestic relations mediators, updated January 2026, that show each mediator's hourly rate.[2][1] Most listings below come from those two lists.[2][1]

Fact-checked Oct 22, 2026 against the official sources numbered above (listed under Sources). Court programs change; confirm with the clerk.

Mediators who work online with Michigan clients

These mediators say they work with Michigan clients online. They are on other states’ official rosters (shown on each listing), not Michigan’s. Where they serve is their own statement. Sorted: placements first, then a fair daily rotation. Featured listings are paid or sponsored placements. Court-verified listings come from official court rosters; other listings are labeled.

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 Michigan.

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.
