How does mediation work in Douglas County?
Douglas County is a judicial district of its own: Nebraska's Fourth District consists only of Douglas County [1]. It is also one of three counties, with Lancaster and Sarpy, that have a separate juvenile court [2]. The Office of Dispute Resolution (ODR) approves Concord Mediation Center to serve Douglas and Sarpy counties [3]. ODR-approved centers mediate parenting plans and offer a sliding fee scale based on income [4]. If parents cannot develop a parenting plan, the court can order them to attempt mediation [5]. Mediators below come from ODR's Find a Mediator list of approved Parenting Act mediators [4].
