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 Nebraska.
Court-connected mediation in Nebraska: In Nebraska parenting cases, the court refers parties to a mediator they agree on and the court approves, an approved mediation center, or a court conciliation program. Nebraska-licensed attorneys may mediate parenting plans if parties agree.
Private mediation in Nebraska: No state license for private mediators was found. Nebraska's UPL rules exempt neutral non-lawyer mediators, but a 2015 advisory opinion says non-lawyer mediators drafting property or support agreements is unauthorized practice of law.
