How does mediation work in Watauga County?

The Watauga County Clerk of Superior Court works from the county courthouse in Boone, keeping the records of both the superior and district courts, scheduling small claims court and handling estates and special proceedings such as adoptions and foreclosures [1]. Watauga, Avery, Madison, Mitchell and Yancey make up Superior Court District 35 in the Fifth Division [2]. Those five counties also form District Court District 35, which has four judges [3]. Where a program operates, contested custody and visitation issues are set for mediation [4]. Federal matters belong to the Western District [5]. The few mediators shown come from the Western [6], Eastern [7] and Middle [8] District lists.
