How does mediation work in Anoka County?

Anoka County courts are part of the Tenth Judicial District, and state law places one of the district's permanent chambers in the city of Anoka [1]. The county refers court questions to the Minnesota Judicial Branch at 763-760-6700 and lists custody and parenting time, divorce and paternity among the court's Family Division matters [2]. Mediation and Restorative Services, a community dispute resolution program certified under Minnesota Statutes chapter 494, serves Anoka County and beyond [3]. Rule 114 bars the court from ordering ADR for a party who cannot pay when free or low-cost services are unavailable [4]. Mediators shown here come from the Minnesota Judicial Branch's Rule 114 ADR Neutral Roster, current as of October 2026 [5].
