How does mediation work in Hennepin County?

Hennepin County alone makes up Minnesota's Fourth Judicial District, which state law sets at 60 judges [1]. Hennepin County's Family Mediation and Evaluation office offers custody and parenting-time mediation with state-qualified mediators, usually one or two sessions of 90 to 120 minutes, plus Social Early Neutral Evaluation, in which a male and female evaluator team gives parents feedback [2]. Only agreements both parents approve reach the Fourth Judicial District Family Court [2]. Under Rule 114, civil and family cases in district court are generally subject to court-annexed ADR [3]. The mediators listed below appear on the Minnesota Judicial Branch's Rule 114 ADR Neutral Roster as of October 2026 [4].
